Sony Scheduled PlayStation State Of Play For Thursday July 8 As God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, And PlayStation VR Confirmed To Be Absent

The recent wavelengths being administered by Sony Interactive Entertainment comes as a result for its purchases of two new PlayStation Studios acquisitions. Firstly, Returnal developer Housemarque is now officially under the same banner as the likes of Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch Productions, and Asobi Team.

The following purchase is for Nixxes Software. While not a new team to develop unique releases, Sony Interactive Entertainment does frame the purchase to be significant for the quality of its first-party titles. “Nixxes will be a strong asset for everyone across PlayStation Studios, helping our teams focus on their most important goal, which is to create unique PlayStation content at the best possible quality,” says PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst.

Now in a new announcement on Tuesday, the PlayStation company announced a new PlayStation State of Play is planned to take place this week. The coming livestreamed presentation is told to feature new information on the upcoming Arkane Lyon’s Deathloop alongside featuring more independent studio releases as well.

However, there is some clarifying from the blog post. “This showcase will not include updates on the next God of War, Horizon Forbidden West or the next generation of PlayStation VR. Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon.” So fans hoping to get direct information on the coming anticipated releases from Sony Interactive Entertainment teams are likely to be disappointed this time around.

Recently, developer Guerrilla Games confirmed that God of War: Ragnarok is to ship next year for 2022. With the game being a cross-generation release as well, it is understandable the hesitation to share new details so soon. The previous announcement also included the same fate for Gran Turismo 7.
