PlayStation fans will no doubt appreciate Monday’s attempt to reach out directly to them with news, given that the company decided to take a pass on attending E3 in June. State of Play event appear to be what PlayStation had in mind when, in a statement to GameSpot, the company tried to explain the reasons behind that decision:
As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community. PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can’t wait to share our plans with you.
This year’s E3 will mark the first time Sony has ever missed the trade show, putting it in league with Nintendo, which likewise forgoes an appearance and instead hosts Nintendo Directs during the year to offer announcements and updates directly to its fans. Sony, meanwhile, has also said it won’t be hosting its annual PlayStation Experience this year — making Monday a day worth paying attention to for PlayStation fans.

We probably won't get release dates for the big 3.

I have a feeling the early access version of Dreams will go up today. We'll probably also see a new Days Gone trailer. Astro Bot DLC or the announcement of a sequel would be cool, but let's see.

Hmm intriguing just when couple of days ago, Kojima tweeted that Death Stranding has got into Critical Stage of Development!

About to start in a few mins, hope everyone's ready for disappointment.

As expected, some good trailers and updates but nothing major.

State of Play Returns 9th May, MediEvil and New Title Announce

State of Play will return this week, on 9th May at 3PM Pacific. Sony's been a bit more upfront about what fans can expect from the broadcast -- particularly after the backlash to the previous show. Those tuning in can anticipate a brief 10 minute broadcast, with extended footage of MediEvil as well as the announcement of a new title. It's unclear whether this will be an exclusive or not, but it's perhaps best to keep your expectations in check. There will also be "updates and announcements" from other upcoming PS4 games.
