Playstation State of Play Predictions (May 2024)


The State of Play is Today! I wanted to put out my predictions, basically so that I can say 'I
TOLD YOU SO' when they are all correct. Or so that I can subtly delete this blog post if I am wrong and deny it ever existed. Anyway, lets did into my predictions for State of Play for May 30th 2024.


Astrobot Platformer Game

I have an idea for this game, it is a third person platformer Mario 3D World Style, where each level is based around a different Playstation IP. For instance there is a God of War Level, a Spider-Man level, an Uncharted Level etc. Astrobot's Playroom was a love letter to Playstation and we all loved seeing little bots dressed as popular Playstation characters. Also it is about to be the 30th Anniversary of Playstation, so a great way to celebrate would be like Kingdom Hearts but with Playstation IP. Perhaps Astrobot also earns new abilities from each of these worlds.



Lego Horizon

There has been a lot of rumours that this will be shown at the State of Play and I think it makes complete sense to show this there. I have heard rumours that it will be in a Lego version of the Forbidden West map and will be a stand alone game. I think we will see perhaps a very short cinematic trailer and then a 'Coming 2026'.


Silent Hill 2 and date and it will be soon

So we all know that Silent Hill 2 remake is on it's way and we also know that there is a Silent Hill showcase right after the State of Play. So it makes sense to show the game briefly at the SOP and then go into more detail at their own showcase. The reason I think the game will be soon is because, if there are doing a full showcase, it is very likely the game is just about done and they have plenty to show. I would maybe even say October 2024 as a good time for it to release. 

Concord by Firewalk Studio

"Concord is a bringing together of peoples. It’s the power of games to build connection and inspire social play. The Firewalk team is driven by the type of exciting, unexpected moments and shared experiences that multiplayer games create. Every time you log on is the beginning of a new adventure and every match is an opportunity for a new story. It’s these ideals that define Concord, its unique universe of vibrant worlds, and its rich cast of colorful characters." - Playstation Blog

Concord is a PVP Sci-Fi shooter by Firewalk Studios. The game is said to be launching this year, so it only makes sense that we see it now so they can start building the hype!


Alan Wake 2 DLC

Remedy claimed that there would be 2 DLCs for Alan Wake II releasing in 2024 and we have not heard anything. I think it only makes sense that they come out today to reassure fans that they will still be seeing these games this year. I think we will see the first one dropping within the next couple of months and perhaps the second one begin delayed to 2025.

Insomniac Wolverine

This one is my wildest prediction and I stand by it. Insomniac announced their R rated Wolverine game September 2021 (I know, time has flown). I think Insomniac will be ready to show a gameplay trailer. Also we have Deadpool and Wolverine coming out next month, Insomniac can jump on the hype train and get people even more excited! This is probably the game I am the most excited about so maybe it is just wishful thinking.

These are my 'pie in the sky' predictions for the showcase. Honestly if I saw just two of these predictions I would be satisfied. What do you all think? Are you excited? What are your personal predictions?

Interview With The Team Behind BALLS: The Monster-Catchin' Musical Comedy

Recently I was lucky enough to interview the guys behind the upcoming musical  BALLS: The Monster-Catchin’ Musical Comédy. This is an interactive musical parody based on a popular game that involves catching monsters in little balls...I'm sure you can guess which game I am referring to! Thank you to Harrison and the team for taking time to answer my question! What inspired you to write “ BALLS: The Monster-Catchin’ Musical Comédy?” Our childhoods were about gaming together and fighting together and trading binders full of monster cards that we collected but never learned how to play with … together. Now that we’re old and weird, we’re nostalgic for the unfettered joy of in-person trades and the battles with buddies.  This show captures that feeling of shared, in-person fun. An engaging visual and imaginative experience, inside its own colorful universe, lovingly lampooning nostalgia, nerd culture, and the wide-eyed immersion of selecting “NEW GAME” for the very… first… time....

Okay, everyone, let's address the Elephant Mario in the room. Where have I been? I was posting just about every day, and suddenly, I disappeared faster than a speeding Concorde! In fact, quicker than that, I disappeared faster than the video game -  Concord . Well, I am here to tell you that it was not for bad reasons at all. In fact, I had a range of opportunities come my way, and I wanted to talk to you all about my experience working as a video game journalist in the industry, the good, the bad, and the [unnamed company that I will not directly address...but it does rhyme with Lame Aunt]...that's right you guessed it - Gamerant.

So around June time I reached out to some gaming outlets around the world to see if I could be a guest writer on their stuff. I loved the direction my career was goin...
