Time passes so fast. The last State of Play feels like it was just yesterday. But Sony is putting on another State of Play show tonight at 10pm UK time. We will report every announcement as it comes, right in this piece, the way we always do. The games should be fresh this time, I hope.
You can talk with us as always. Tell us your thoughts on the games. Some folks are unkind. Others stay upbeat no matter what. It often depends on how many tough games like soulslikes show up.
We can only guess what is in tonight’s lineup right now. Wolverine will not appear. But we look for Saros. Maybe news on Fairgames if it is still being made. Should we dream big? Maybe a Bloodborne update. Not likely. But someday if we wish enough.
Anyway.
PlayStation starts at 10pm. Come join us for about an hour of fun, at least a little.
Our live report on this event is done.
- A weak lineup wraps up
- Elden Ring Nightreign: Forsaken Hollows out on December 4
- Blazblue side-scroller fighter due in February
- Monster Hunter Wilds Update 4 hits in December
- Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack adds 24-hour race
- Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake in March
- Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined kicks off the event
- The event starts
- 15 minutes left
- Lead-up to Sony’s five-year PS5 event
Here we are in another live report. Did you miss these? You did. I know it. You miss this chat. You cannot trick me.
Now to the big thing: how ready are you for Sony’s show tonight? The expected games sound plain. Unless Bloodborne surprises us. But that hint yesterday of something special gives hope.
Build-up to Sony’s five-year PS5 birthday show
Time to get ready. Time to guess!
Show me PlayStation 6 please. Put Mark Cerny on screen to talk about new work. Not another Knack. That would excite everyone.
Kami says: Sigh. Here we go. Mr Sony, we want Bloodborne…
Good attitude. If we all think hard, it will happen!
Danzig85 says: The list leaked:
- 0-10 min: Bloodborne Remake
- 11-20 min: Bloodborne 2 reveal
- 21-30 min: Bloodborne Escape shooter
- 31-38 min: Bloodborne 2 Remake premiere
- 39-40 min: Bloodborne Balatro crossover
Good spirit!
MarcusJ says: Tokyo Jungle remake or sequel please.
Sony, listen. Give folks what they ask for.
Taking a short break before the show. See you soon.
15 minutes to go

That is fun.
Kami says: No Bertie. But you tried!
I will not quit. We keep going.
GajKnight says: Rule of Rose remaster coming.
I do not know the game but I like the idea.
Nathan-DTS says: Took diazepam. Will miss show. Wake to Astro Bot Kart and Kojima game.
Nice rest, Nathan.
Cookie_Monster says: The cat bobs its head so much its body shakes.
Looks like it pants.
Kami says: Rule of Rose story is wild. Released then banned in UK!
Oh no. My fault.
Malek86 says: Hope for Folklore remake.
Folklore? Sounds familiar. Small memory. I look it up. Video says game no one got. Now I want to know more.
spookyxelectric says: GIVE ME RIDGE RACER
Perfect for new Sony handheld. Where is Kaz Hirai? Retired now. Was on board till last year. Bets he watches on PS5 Pro for free.
Two minutes left. Big open? I bet big start. Get talk going.
Cookie_Monster says: No snacks but pumpkin seeds.
Toasted seeds with soy sauce taste good. But no time. Show starts!
The show begins
Here it comes.
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined starts things
First is long music.

Now a store clerk game. Restock shelves. Simple idea.
Next like Coffee Talk but with Japan story beings. It is Coffee Talk Tokyo.
Horror from BrokenLore. Two titles. Unfollow shows house different ways. Then neck monster on floor.
