The second State of Play broadcast from Sony is tomorrow, and despite the platform holder outlining what to expect, rumours have been swirling about what else might crop up during the 10-minute presentation. In addition to a look at the MediEvil remake, Sony has promised the reveal of a brand new game, but word on the street is that a long absent third party title will also be shown off. Current speculation is that this could well be Final Fantasy VII Remake.
To add a little fuel to the fire, Shinji Hashimoto, a producer at Square Enix and brand manager for Final Fantasy, has shared his excitement for State of Play over on Twitter.
Roughly translated, his tweet means, "Oh, it's here." It's possible he's retweeted this because the hotly anticipated remake will in fact be re-revealed. However, given this is the man who trolled us all at PlayStation Experience 2014, we wouldn't take this as read. Of course, fans are using this as an excuse to get excited, but this could quite easily be nothing.
Do you think we'll be reacquainted with Cloud and co during State of Play? Ready your pinch of salt in the comments below.

"a long absent third party title". Guys, it's been a few days since we heard of Kojima... I mean Death Stranding. It could be said long absent third party title.
If the game Will be present at all it Will be a new trailer.
If square enix are ready to show more of the game than i don't think they Will show it all at the state of play. They Will keep more info for E3. A trailer is what i could expect IF the rumors are true. With gameplay being kept for E3.
a trailer would Also fit more with the duration of state of play espcially if we Will already get a bigger look at medi evil which might be a gamplay vid.
I mean the event is 10 minutes long. They can't put in lot's of gameplay stuff without rushing them.
I personally think yes they will rereveal it at state of play. The game has undergone massive changes since its initial reveal and so its time. I think it will be a teaser saying check out our e3 presentation for more/a release date etc etc
Lets see. But as much as i dare not, the hype is real!!
How funny would a "available right now" be ay the end of a FF7 remake trailer
I wonder what are they chances of FF7 remake releasing on PS5 🤔
@Rhaoulos death stranding is funded and published by sony, its a first party game.
In all seriousness, I hope the remake never comes out.
@Amppari Not sure we can call it first party since Kojima production is an independent studio and doesn't belong to Sony unlike Naughty dog. It would still be a third party game.
I think they're going to announce that the Final Fantasy VII PC port is coming to PS4 again.
@Rhaoulos nope, its a first party game, just like spider-man and god of war. Theres a difference between first party game and first party studio.
@Amppari Detroit Become Human was published by Sony yet is also on PC now. It seems wrong to have a definition of "first party" that can also apply to games that can appear on other platforms.
That's why 2nd party is a useful phrase. Made by a third party but exclusive to a certain platform.
@Shepherd_Tallon just let Deep Down be Next-Gen game for PS5... we don't need it now for PS4 era despite many other Good RPG that available right now...
@Amppari Got it, thanks for explaining.
@Rhaoulos Isn't Death Stranding "2nd party" though? Published by Sony?
@Matroska none of the publishers use the term ”2nd party”
@Athrum I looked it up and it seems 2nd party isn't an official term. It is a colloquial term used by a few people, but this would make sense to separate it from 1st party games from studios that belong to the console manufacturer.
It'd be hilarious if we got FFVII Remake: Pocket Edition instead.
I wonder if this will be the announcement of an announcement for a trailer? 😉
It's Avengers
@Amppari So what? There's clearly a difference between Nintendo making their own game (Mario Odyssey) and a company they don't own at all making a game exclusively for their devices (Pokemon). Pokemon is synonymous with Nintendo yet isn't made by them. Referring to that as second party clearly distinguishes it from first party like Mario Odyssey and third party like FFXII.
No idea why 3rd parties are all the rage. My daughter and her friends dressing up as Princesses dancing to Ed Sheeran. Worst time ever.
@Bliquid Nope, when sony announced spider-man numbers, they referd to it as first party, because its a first party game, just like death stranding. Bayo 2 is a first party nintendo game.
A third party exclusive is a game published by a third party publisher exclusively to a platform, like persona 5.
@Matroska still doesnt change the fact that pokemon is a first party game
Final Fantasy 8 Remake announcement get it out if the way now so it's ready for PS6
It seems likely. Knowing Squeenix I imagine we'll be seeing the exact same trailer again at E3 too... >__>
@Amppari It does when the franchise can appear on non-Nintendo platforms and the profits it makes don't give a penny to Nintendo, as with Pokemon Go. Using first party the way you're suggesting is totally meaningless.
Pokemon Go makes as much money for Nintendo as Mario Kart does for Sony, and is as developed by Nintendo as much as Mortal Kombat is by Sega - and that last one goes for all Pokemon games, not just Go.
We'll see, but personally I'd be more interested in the Avengers game as I just can't help but have this horrible feeling the FF7 remake is going to be terrible.
