PlayStation Insider Reveals State of Play Date, Teases Unannounced Game Reveal

As a long-time PlayStation enthusiast, the news of another State of Play event in September has me buzzing with anticipation! Jeff Grubb’s recent hint about it happening on the 24th only adds to the excitement. The potential lineup, including Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered, has my curiosity piqued. However, I must admit, I’m a bit skeptical about that “less exciting” remaster he mentioned – hopefully, it won’t be another God of War or Days Gone!


Just yesterday, I got wind from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb that we might have a PlayStation State of Play event in September! While he had given us a rough estimate earlier, he’s now honed it down to a specific date – the 24th, according to his latest podcast appearance on Game Mess Mornings.

Grubb chuckled, saying, “I’m not sure about the details, but when I inquired about this, it seems there’s another remaster being developed that might be less intriguing than Horizon: Zero Dawn. And at that point, it was clear that it wasn’t Bloodborne. During the State of Play event, we can expect them to make an announcement about it.

I was pretty pumped when I heard about a possible remaster, but unfortunately, no details were shared about what this remaster could be. Being “less exciting” doesn’t necessarily mean that the original game is subpar; it just might feel redundant if the remaster doesn’t bring anything new to the table. This seems to be the general sentiment among fans regarding Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered, and it could also apply to any other games that may seem like a repetition of what has already been done, such as God of War and Days Gone, which released in 2018 and 2019 respectively. For now, we can only guess about the game Grubb is referring to, but here’s hoping it turns out to be an enjoyable experience regardless!

That hint was part of a larger discussion about PlayStation’s current strategy, and its recent focus on remakes and remasters. While Grubb acknowledged the success of original PS5 games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Astro Bot, he lamented the fact that PlayStation hasn’t offered much else this generation in terms of first-party games. Grubb specifically brought up the recently revealed PS5 Pro, noting that this State of Play would be a good time to announce a new game that would take advantage of the console’s abilities, rather than simply announcing more remasters. Hopefully PlayStation will have much more to show!
