Insider Nate the Hate has claimed that the next PlayStation State of Play presentation will happen “well before June”, corroborating a prior May, 2026, rumor.
Known industry insider and content creator Nate the Hate took to Twitter/X to respond to a question regarding possible plans of making a PlayStation-focused video in the future. In response, he said that he’ll consider it after the next State of Play, which should be well before June based on what he has heard from his sources, corroborating an earlier rumor that claimed a presentation is planned during the same time frame. That said, he currently does not have a confirmed the date yet for the presentation.
A month prior, Twitter/X user millieamand, who works within the Entertainment and Sports Industry, reported that Sony Interactive Entertainment had initiated partner outreach discussions with a select group of publishing and development stakeholders to evaluate content readiness and availability for a potential PlayStation State of Play broadcast that was being scoped for a late Spring/early Summer window.
An earlier rumor came from known insider shinobi602, who took to the Reset Era forums in February to respond to a fellow member on whether the upcoming God of War trilogy remake is the same project God of War (2018) director Cory Barlog is rumored to be working on. According to the insider, they’re two different games. The insider mentioned that, given the quarter Santa Monica Studio is targeting for the unannounced title helmed by Cory Barlog, he believes it will be announced this year. He expects it to be revealed at either the May, 2026, PlayStation State of Play presentation or Summer Games Fest 2026. If the game doesn’t get announced by then, it will likely be because the development team pushed the release out further or ended up making the reveal-to-release window shorter.
