Everything You Need to Know About PlayStation State of Play June 2025

Rumors About a New Resident Evil Game Heat Up Before State of Play

Recent rumors about a new Resident Evil title have been intensifying, reaching a peak with PlayStation's official announcement of a State of Play showcase scheduled for June 2025. Talks of a new installment in Capcom's iconic survival horror series started swirling last week, with notable leaker Dusk Golem stating there's a "90% chance" a new Resident Evil game will be unveiled soon.

As expected, fans across online communities have been speculating wildly, with theories covering everything from possible new protagonists and settings to the revival of dormant spin-off series. Some are even hoping for another entry in the recent remake lineup.

There might be substance behind these rumors. A major IP reveal would mirror the precedent set in June 2022, when Capcom announced the Resident Evil 4 remake during a State of Play stream. With Summer Game Fest approaching and major industry players competing for attention, this could be PlayStation's strategic move to keep the spotlight on their announcements.

Subtle Clues Point Toward a Possible Final Fantasy Tactics Remake

Final Fantasy Tactics fans have good reason to be optimistic—if online hints are accurate, the beloved 1997 tactical RPG could be making a major comeback. Hopes for a remake have skyrocketed following a surge of intriguing social media activity from developers and insiders ahead of PlayStation's June 2025 State of Play.

The speculation began when Yasumi Matsuno, director of the original Final Fantasy Tactics, retweeted PlayStation Japan's State of Play announcement. Although the retweet was later removed, fans preserved the moment, sparking renewed excitement.

The situation grew more intriguing when several Square Enix employees—including a senior manager and various regional representatives from Latin America—joined in, sharing animated and enthusiastic quote retweets of the same announcement. This suggests that something significant may be in the works behind the scenes.

Perhaps most notably, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, a journalist known for reliable industry insights, added to the speculation with a couple of suggestive posts. "I'm just saying, Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the greatest games ever made," he tweeted, followed shortly by a single, telling word: "Remaster."

While nothing has been officially confirmed, the signs are aligning—and if Square Enix is ready to return to Ivalice, fans may finally get the remake they've waited decades for.

Updates on PlayStation's Biggest Upcoming Titles Are Highly Anticipated

While speculation about surprise announcements continues, many expect the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play to also deliver long-awaited updates on several major games already in development.

Leading the list are Gears of War: Reloaded and Ghost of Yōtei—both high-profile announcements that have yet to receive in-depth gameplay trailers or follow-up footage since their initial reveals. With anticipation still high, players are looking forward to learning more about what these titles will actually offer.

Additionally, several games that have been quiet for a while are also in the spotlight. Marvel's Wolverine, initially revealed with great excitement, has remained under the radar as other Marvel projects have taken center stage. Similarly, Judas—the mysterious narrative-driven shooter from BioShock creator Ken Levine—has been silent since it missed its previously announced March 2025 release window.

What Is PlayStation State of Play?

PlayStation State of Play is a recurring program from Sony that provides updates on upcoming and recently launched games, hardware, and other PlayStation-related news. It's their digital showcase event, similar to Nintendo Direct and Xbox Developer Direct—pre-recorded and streamed online, featuring game trailers, developer interviews, and occasional surprise announcements.

There is no fixed schedule for PlayStation State of Play events. They may occur multiple times throughout the year, depending on whether Sony has significant news to share with the gaming community, whether it involves their own intellectual properties, indie titles, or other major updates.
