Sony may be planning a Summer State of Play after all

This past week, there’s been a great deal of discussion surrounding Sony and its future PlayStation showcase plans. While it initially seemed as though fans would have to wait until September for the next event, one leaker has claimed that a State of Play could arrive as soon as next month.

Yesterday, we reported on a leak from reputable insider NateDrake who claimed to have heard nothing regarding any upcoming PlayStation Presentation. Following this, another leaker stated that Sony’s next event is currently scheduled for sometime in September.

Now, Jeff Grubb has weighed in on the matter, stating via their Game Mess Mornings Podcast “Someone commented on ResetEra – NateDrake – who’s reliable, and says he hasn't heard anything about a May event from Sony this year. I haven't either, but that's because something's happening in June – it's a June thing. They're doing something in June.”

Offering some additional details, Grubb continued, “Now is that going to be a big Showcase? I don't think so. I've said a couple months ago that I heard that they were discussing – going back and forth about doing a Showcase or a State of Play. Sounds like they've probably settled on a State of Play – I'm not 100 percent about that aspect of it – it's probably a State of Play though. But I have heard June.”

According to Grubb, obtaining clarity on this situation was “abnormally difficult” which explains why there has been so much back and forth on what is actually happening.

Assuming a State of Play is planned for some time next month, expect at the very least for the upcoming Ghost of Yotei to feature in some form or another. Hopefully PlayStation has some cool announcements planned. We shouldn’t have to wait long to find out.
