Tomorrow evening, Sony will open the ball with an already eagerly awaited State of Play. And to attract customers, what might be better than already announcing an eminent member of the line-up? A hint: this is the next game in a franchise developed by Guerrilla Games.
A promising horizon
We suspected it a little, since part of the show was going to be devoted to PlayStation VR 2. Sony has just made it official, but the brand new installment of the iconic Horizon saga will be on the State of Play program to be held tomorrow night : as a reminder, this is a virtual reality game bearing the sweet name of Horizon : Call of the Mountainwhich was announced at the start of 2022.
For the moment, only one video has been revealed, with a lick of gameplay to put in your mouth (to be found above). In any case, the adventure is very likely to be promising: it is designed by Guerilla Games, the Dutch studio behind the first two titles in the franchise, with a solid helping hand from Firesprite, an English firm acquired by Sony recently.
What’s up Doc ?
If Horizon is indeed the only name disclosed by Sony, the Japanese manufacturer does however hint at some possibilities by giving a very small glimpse of what awaits us. First of all, you should know that a good part of the show will be devoted to “reveals from third-party partners”, that is, publishers other than Sony.
A focus will also be made, therefore, on “several games in development for the PlayStation VR 2”. We then feel that things are starting to accelerate for the famous helmet whose rumors suggest a 2023 release : maybe we will have the formalization tomorrow evening.
The opportunity to specify that the State of Play will therefore be held on YouTube or Twitch from midnight, French time, and that it will last “regarding thirty minutes”. You can of course follow the event on JV.
