Key Highlights:
- PS5 Pro announcement rumoured for 10-11 September.
- Major State of Play event expected 19-20 September.
- First-party content and possible “world premiere” anticipated.
In a flurry of excitement for PlayStation fans, industry insiders are buzzing with news of imminent revelations from Sony. The gaming giant is reportedly gearing up for a series of major announcements, including the much-anticipated PS5 Pro and a significant State of Play event.
Reliable sources suggest that Sony may unveil the PS5 Pro as early as next week, with the 10th or 11th of September pencilled in as potential dates.
This hardware reveal could be the prelude to an even bigger event, as a “pretty big” State of Play is rumoured to follow on the 19th or 20th of September.
The State of Play is expected to showcase first-party content, possibly including a world premiere that has fans and industry watchers on the edge of their seats.
While details remain sketchy, the potential line-up has sparked considerable interest, with some speculating about upgraded titles that might harness the power of the PS5 Pro.
These developments come after a period of relative quiet from Sony, particularly regarding their first-party projects. Just this week, Sony announced the immediate shutdown of its latest multiplayer shooter, Concord. The PS5 exclusive just wasn’t catching enough hype in the gaming sphere and players will even be receiving full refunds for their purchase.
The company’s shift towards digital presentations like State of Play and Showcase events has led to some unpredictability in their announcement schedule, leaving fans eager for news.
Insider Lunatic Ignus, who correctly predicted the timing of May’s State of Play, shared the update via Discord. While cautioning that the “world premiere” might be held back for The Game Awards in December, the insider’s track record lends credence to the claims.
If these rumours prove accurate, September could be a landmark month for PlayStation. The PS5 Pro announcement might set the stage for the subsequent State of Play, where Sony could preview new or enhanced games tailored for the upgraded hardware.
As always, it’s wise to approach such leaks with a degree of scepticism. However, the consistency of reports from various sources suggests that PlayStation enthusiasts have ample reason for optimism.
Lets not forget that on September 21st and 22nd, that it’s the 30th Anniversary of PlayStation. So if i had my guess, that’s when i would expect all these reveals to take place as it makes the most sense.
With the Tokyo Game Show looming at the end of September, Sony might be positioning itself for a strong showing, potentially using the event to further spotlight the PS5 Pro and its capabilities.
As we await official confirmation, we’ll have to see whether this gossip will materialise or not. What we do know, is it’s clear that Sony is preparing something significant.
