Sony announced the date and time for their second ever State of Play live streamed broadcast. The new episode will air on Thursday, May 9 at 3 pm Pacific/6pm Eastern. You can tune in via Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook.
The second State of Play episode will only be about 10 minutes long and focus entirely on PlayStation 4 games. Sony confirmed in the announcement that we won’t be getting any more PlayStation 5 (working title) news.
The program will show off an extended look at the upcoming MediEvil remake by PlayStation Worldwide Studios. The remake was originally announced with a trailer last fall. MediEvil is a full HD remake of the original PlayStation action-adventure from 1998. We wouldn’t be surprised if we also got a release date announcement.
This week’s State of Play will provide a “first look at a new title” as well as “updates and announcements from upcoming PS4 games.” We’re not sure if the new title is a brand new unannounced game, however.
We previously learned several intriguing details about Sony’s next console via a Wired interview with console lead designer Mark Cerny. Details include a solid state drive, 8K resolution support, native PSVR support, and backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 4. Cerny confirmed that we won’t be seeing the new console this year, but all signs point to Sony announcing its new console some time later this year, possibly during one of these State of Play broadcasts.
State of Play’s third episode will air later this year.
