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.
As always, you'll find the full video here on Push Square, with live chat and live blogging. The platform holder has said that you shouldn't expect any next-gen announcements during the event, and while there has been some The Last of Us: Part II and Death Stranding trailer speculation, we'd suggest you don't get overly excited so as not to ruin the show for yourself.
Will you be joining us for the next State of Play? Let us know in the comments section below.

It's good that they've been very specific about what to expect from this. There'll still be complaints I'm sure, but at least now people can make an informed decision about whether they want to watch it or not.
They have also moved the time back, and unfortunately I can’t see it. They must of heard the complaints about being at the same time as the England game and wanted to ensure no football collisions happen.
@get2sammyb ''new game''
Expectations: The Last of Us Part 3
Reality: ''another'' VR game
Interesting that this is not in June. So I don’t expect megatons. But excited nevertheless!
Wait 10 min of Medievil gameplay? Or that’s how long the broadcast will last if so, then people shouldn’t expect megatons.
I'll have to catch the info later as I'll be working, curious to see what the new game is. I'm guessing it's probably an indie level game or VR but maybe it's time for Bluepoint to reveal what it's doing.
@LightingThor That's how long it will last and they've been very clear about what this will include. If people expect anything more than what has been outlined in the PS Blog post then it's on them.
I'm glad they took the feedback from the last one and are setting very specific expectations. A new look at MediEvil is long overdue too.
I would like to see more MediEvil, so I'll try to tune in this time.
About time been patiently waiting for Medievil for a release date . Not a AAA exclusive but I see it as a fun little game for us PS fans .
that new title could maybe be the bluepoint game right?
Although disappointing its so short, I am very glad they are managing expectations beforehand. As we've seen countless times with Directs, outlandish fan expectations usually lead to nothing but negativity. Really hope the have a meaty one planned for E3/June!
biggest disappointing : very lacking of news for The last of part 2
oh yeah my boy sir Daniel fortesque is rising to the grave and get back to the game.like the PlayStation icon he is.la la la.the shadow demons.word is bond.word life.word to your mother .word ☝ up son
The face that they specifically said no news on next Gen did it for me. How could they. DieKaiser92.. Ouut!!!
People will watch it, then complain about watching it 😂
I'm looking forward to seeing more from the Medievil remake.
10 minutes = "Mini State of Play" or "State of Play Mini"
Come'on Sony if you're going to copy it copy it right.
Good stuff.
Doesn't matter what they say though. I think they shouldn't say anything beforehand for the unexpected and just throw that out there, also for the laugh of people crying it's not E3 like.
Maybe just announce it's up just a couple of hours before and be done with it. Its not like people would take time off to watch it or something.
@get2sammyb "There'll still be complaints I'm sure"
Naturally. Even the best of Nintendo Directs are followed with a mountain of salt from some groups.
Ubisoft will reveal a new Ghost Recon game this Thursday. Maybe that is it.
I like how there doing these if there doing them every month or so like this.
@Athrum I doubt it. I would assume the directs are for exclusives.
Please be Dark Cloud 3!!
I genuinely don't understand the title. "Medievil and New Title Announce..." what? What do they announce? Or do you mean "Medievil and New Title Announcement"?
It's 5 AM on my country so I think I'll watch it at 7 or 8 AM. I hope we'll get medievil remake release date
At least they're doing a better job of setting expectations this time around, so it shouldn't be as disappointing as the first one.
Hopefully the community doesn't embarrass themselves like last time because that was bloody disgraceful in how people just dismissed VR games cos PSVR owners weren't allowed nice things apparently.
@DieKaiser92 Why on earth would you have expected next gen news now? We'll probably won't hear anything till next year most likely.
@DieKaiser92 Yeah announce a year early too kill off PS4 sales.
@get2sammyb this could be the announcement of a significant game Colin Moriarty has mentioned a few times on his podcasts
I have never played a Medievil game so I'm interested in this for sure.10 mins is short but the fact they are doing another State Of Play so close to the last one is a good sign of Sony keeping us up to date on things.
Definitely curious to see the progress on MediEvil!
Can't wait to see more of MediEvil. Still chuffed to bits that a franchise so dead is coming back to life.
@get2sammyb It wouldn't be the internet if people didn't whine about something!
I, along with @playstation1995 , really REALLY want Syphon Filter. But I would settle for Tombi, Ape Escape, Nightmare Creatures, Dino Crisis or Metal Gear Solid remakes. Maybe Mr Domino but no one appreciates that.
The new game will probably end up being a VR game so I'll keep my expectations low for that, but really looking forward to seeing more Medievil footage.
@RainbowGazelle I believe it means Some Medievil footage and a new game announcement.
@nookie_egg or give me a parasite Eve remake.word up son
Hopefully we will get a big state of play next month
A new infamous game?
Oh fudge, never mind it’s Puppeteer 2.
@twick87 Language dude. This is a family friendly website.
Unfortunately I’ll be busy, so won’t get to livestream it with you fine folks. I’m looking forward to seeing how MediEvil is coming along and excited about the announcement of a new title.
Always happy to hear directly from Sony with updates. Yes it will wake up "Generation hate" to their keyboards. Got to overlook the special ones.
Is this the secret game I keep on hearing about, that most people in industry know about but can't say what it is?
Glad they're being mroe up front about it, but until the excitement starts to ramp up a bit I won't be staying up to tune into these broadcasts. Look forward to catching up with them the next day though.
Less boring VR stuff PLEASE SONY!!! :-/ Like in the past I don't care about the other stuff like PS MOVE, PS Vita, PSP etc etc I just want to see normal games I can play on my home Console without all those silly add-ons
