Sony Teases Event, States We Will Know More About the “Long-Term Vision” of PlayStation Later This Month
With rumors swirling about that Sony is planning a PlayStation showcase (or State of Play) this month, it seems the company has confirmed that there is something happening later this month and yes, it involves Sony Interactive Entertainment which is the division that handles and operates PlayStation.
This was revealed in Sony’s company message by interim president Hiroki Totoki where the following statement was included:
Later this month you will learn more about the long-term vision for Sony Group and the essential role SIE plays in that vision. As I mentioned previously, FY24 marks the start of the Mid-Range Plan period for Sony Group in which we will set the course for sustainable growth.
While it’s not specified if this is a PlayStation State of Play or another type of show, it does confirm that we’re getting an announcement of sorts this month.
We’re hoping it includes game reveals for projects set to be released soon, as the PS5 2024 games lineup seems to be a bit barren, and we don’t even know what’s in store for 2025 as well.

I’ve been wanting to know what their vision was since Hermen Hulst did the What’s Next For PlayStation Studios” post on the PlayStation Blog in June 2021.
This was awful news where we learned Ragnorok and GT7 WERE NOT PS5 games built from the ground up. He even had the gall to bring up Sony Bend and how happy they are as a studio…… after all the talk that staff left because Bend was forced to work on TLOU Remake.
Him being a new CEO is a disaster.
3 years on and and not one single brand new PS5 game was announced apart from Spiderman 2 and Wolverine and one of those has released.
Myself and others let them all know how we felt about this new utterly directionless approach PlayStation was heading in. And that still stands today with them still putting out complete waste of time PC ports that make next to no money.
Here is the blog post I’m talking about https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/02/hermen-hulst-qa-whats-next-for-playstation-studios/
Like I said, look at the pure anger of us PlayStation fans in the comments. 3 years ago, hard to believe.
