The rumor mill can finally take a long-earned rest, as Sony has confirmed that a long-suspected State of Play will take place on February 12. Excitement around this month's presentation is particularly high, and for good reason: PlayStation has a number of major releases cooking, but has remained tight-lipped on when we'll actually get to play most of its upcoming PS5 games.
If the upcoming State of Play delivers on those missing hard facts, PlayStation is poised to take lead for the industry and tee up a year that's still quite up in the air. It's possible we'll get a show that's light on surprises and heavy on details, but it would be remiss of me to close the door on a few gasps – after all, Sony's lawyers have been making a lot of noise around Bloodborne in the run-up to its tenth anniversary. Regardless of whether a trip back to Yharnam is in the books, it does feel like there's a lot of reasons to be excited for this State of Play – here's what I'm personally keeping an eye out for.
