Sony confirms new Wolverine-focused State of Play

With Saros finally out and about, the only major PlayStation exclusive due to drop this year is the highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine. While Sony has officially confirmed the game will be playable on September 15, the company hasn’t shown much gameplay. That is set to change on June 2.

A new Marvel’s Wolverine-focused State of Play will be broadcast on 14:00 PT/23:00 CEST via Sony’s Twitch/YouTube channels. If you’re impatient, footage of Wolverine already exists thanks to the efforts of some hackers bringing the game to PC well before its PS5 debut. And of course, the hope for a Bloodborne remake/remaster remains eternal. 

The showcase is said to be over sixty minutes long, meaning we might get a glimpse at numerous other first and third-party projects that Sony is cooking up. Insomniac’s other Marvel game, Venom, is long overdue for a teaser and it would be nice if it got some airtime. Naughty Dog’s ambitious project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is likely to get a spot, but Sony will probably have another State of Play dedicated to it.

A GTA 6 cameo cannot be ruled out

Sony usually announces a State of Play a few days before launch. The two-week hiatus indicates something big might be shown off.  Could that be GTA 6? Not entirely implausible because of Sony’s quasi-exclusivity deal with Rockstar Games when it comes to GTA VI marketing. It would be as good a time as any to open up pre-orders.
