According to a new rumor, Sony is set to share a “big announcement” next week and then air a State of Play sometime between September 19 and 20.
The source is leaker Ignus, who correctly shared information about a State of Play back in May. Of course, this is just a rumor, but since the source has already correctly shared similar information, it makes sense to take this into consideration.
Details on the PlayStation dedicated rumor
Specifically, via a comment on his Discord, leaker Ignus explained that “the big announcement” will happen next week. The leaker remains vague, but the idea is that it will be the much-talked-about announcement of the PS5 Pro, which at this point should happen via a dedicated article on the PlayStation Blog.
The leaker says it’s weird that Sony is separating announcements like this, but the week after the “big announcement” there will be a State of Play. This show is expected to include first-party games, including possibly a “World Premiere” that the leaker is eagerly anticipating. He also says he’s not sure about that last detail, and it’s possible it will eventually be shown during the Tokyo Game Show. This leads us to believe that this is a third-party product. What that is is impossible to say, although we can assume it’s from a Japanese team (are we all thinking Resident Evil 9?).
If all this is true, the first announcement will only be a week away, so we’ll just have to wait a bit to find out everything or be disappointed.
Looking to the future, PS6 and the new Xbox will make a real generational leap, PS5 and Series promised more than they could deliver.
