Sony PlayStation dropped the news that a special ‘Extended’ State of Play episode would release this week on Thursday 14th May 2020.
The post on the Official PlayStation Europe Blog explained what to expect from this special State of Play Episode:
The episode will be focused entirely on Ghost of Tsushima, coming to PS4 17th July. You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more. The current cut is clocking in around 18 minutes, give or take.
And just to be clear — there won’t be any PS5 news or updates in this episode, just a big, beautiful look at Sucker Punch’s PS4 open-world epic
Ghost of Tsushima has been on my radar since its reveal last year but what is very striking about this State of Play special is sadly not the game it is showcasing but in the official statement from the PlayStation Blog, it makes sure to let fans know not to expect any news or updates regarding the PS5 console, a week after Microsoft and Xbox were showcasing, in very minimal fashion to be fair, and announcing third party games that will come to Xbox Series X in the next year.
Sony PlayStation are being extremely reserved about all things PS5 even now with only the new Dual Sense controller and some console specs having officially been revealed but as we approach July which could be the real launch pad for the next console generation with pre-orders, release date and most importantly pricing being finally revealed. We already know that Xbox will be holding a special Microsoft Studios edition of Inside Xbox to showcase their line up of games for Xbox Series X that I would be surprised if they do not deliver the final information fans are waiting for.
Time to see if Sony PlayStation is finally ready to unveil all thing PS5 this summer!
