March State of Play: New PlayStation games and updates

Today’s presentation is set for a solid 20 minutes of the latest from the world of PlayStation with what Sony refers to as “a special focus on highlighting great games coming from some of [its] beloved Japanese publishers.” However, we are expecting to see a “few updates” from other developers located around the world as well. Sony has already stated we would not be getting any new details on PlayStation VR 2 hardware – we got our first look at the headset last month – or software today. 

Sony has already launched some big-time first-party titles this year, including the well-received Horizon Forbidden West and the latest entry to its long-running Grand Turismo series, but what’s up next? We are hoping for a firm release date on the next entry in the rebooted God of War franchise and possibly some kind of hint on what the folks at Naughty Dog are up to, but from there we’ll have to wait and see.

Follow along with all of the new PlayStation games and updates in today’s State of Play below and be sure to check back as we will be updating this post with all of the full-res trailers and footage once it’s available. 

A new State of Play is upon us! Join us for new reveals and eye-catching updates for PS5 and PS4 titles. Note: We won’t have any updates on PlayStation VR2 titles or hardware in this broadcast. The show is clocking in around 20 minutes, give or take, with a special focus on highlighting great games coming from some of our beloved Japanese publishers, though we’ll have a few updates from other developers located around the world.
