Sony has confirmed the leaked design of the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, hinting at a modular design with an attachable disc drive. The new console is expected to be unveiled during a State of Play event later this month, potentially offering cost savings through a single base model with optional disc drive attachments.
During the May 2024 State of Play presentation, PlayStation unveiled a new cinematic trailer for its upcoming live-service sci-fi game, Concord. Developed by Firewalk Studios, the game showcased gameplay featuring five of its characters and announced a release date of August 23 for PS5 and PC, along with a closed beta in July. Concord is a 5v5 shooter set in the Concord galaxy, where players take on the role of mercenaries known as Freerunners and join the intergalactic spacefaring crew Northstar. The five characters revealed include Vale, a skilled sniper; Haymar, a pyromancer; Star Child, a robust alien; Lennox, a mohawk-sporting fighter; and 1-Off, a robotic entity. The game will feature 16 playable characters at launch, with post-launch updates adding more content. Unique to Concord are weekly vignettes that provide narrative arcs for characters outside of gameplay, expanding the story of the Concord galaxy.
Sony’s latest State of Play presentation is set to unveil updates on upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 titles, with a particular focus on games scheduled for release in the latter half of 2024. The event, scheduled for May 30th at 3 p.m. PT, will feature approximately 14 games and is expected to include exclusive reveals and gameplay updates. While specific game announcements have not been made, there are strong speculations about the appearance of highly anticipated titles like Until Dawn’s remake, Firewalk Studios’ Concord, and even rumored projects such as a Horizon-themed Lego game and a new Astro Bot-centric adventure.
PlayStation will kick off the summer of digital video game reveal streams this week with a State of Play broadcast. The stream will take place at 3 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 30. This State of Play is significant as Sony’s slate of first-party games for 2024 is unknown. The stream should shed light on what’s coming later this year. Sony has teased what players can expect from the stream. It will run for over 30 minutes and showcase 14 PS5 games, including PlayStation VR2 titles and PlayStation Studios titles. The inclusion of PSVR2 is especially significant as Sony’s latest VR headset has largely been abandoned since launch. Rumors are circulating about potential reveals, including a new Astro game and God of War Ragnarok’s PC port. Partners like Capcom and Square Enix may also make appearances.
