Sony’s next State of Play broadcast will take place very soon, according to a new report.
Prominent leaker Nate the Hate reported that the next State of Play event may take place on Thursday, April 16. However, he said this is unconfirmed for now. He added that it appears to be a State of Play that is focused more on third-party games, but he isn’t 100% certain on that.
April 16 is also the day that Ubisoft will reportedly finally officially announce the recently confirmed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake, but Nate the Hate said he doesn’t know if this is connected to the rumored State of Play.
Nate the Hate did not share any further specifics on the rumored State of Play, so it’s unclear what games could show up during a potential broadcast. It would be the second State of Play so far in 2026, following an event from February where the God of War trilogy remake was announced.
Beyond rumors about Sony, Nate the Hate recently made headlines for reporting on a possible new Star Fox game for Switch 2 that could be announced very soon.
A possible new State of Play would be the first since Sony raised PS5 prices on April 2, bringing the PS5 Pro up to an eye-watering $900. Sony said the price hike was necessary due to the “global economic landscape.”
