PlayStation State of Play February 2025 live – all the PS5 leaks and rumors ahead of Sony's first stream of the year
Here's all the news from the first State of Play of the year
Interestingly, we learned last year that a new studio was formed under the Sony umbrella to continue the development of one of Bungie's incubation projects. The news came as Bungie admitted that Destiny 2 and Marathon plans got "overly ambitious," resulting in some developers being laid off or moved elsewhere within Sony.
That's far from confirmation that project 'Gummy Bears' exists, though we do know that something is knockin' about.
Back to the good ol' showcase, there's a rumor doing the rounds that we'll see a project from Halo and Destiny veteran Bungie that's currently codenamed 'Gummy Bears.' Outlet Vandal reports that the game is coming to PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch, though we'll need to wait and see if anything comes of it.
Speaking of the Lands Between, we played Elden Ring Nightreign for over 3 hours and came away thinking that it feels like a mod in the best way possible. Can FromSoft pull off the roguelike pivot? We're certainly hopeful.
One news story you won't see tonight – for the first time, anyway – is that Fromsoftware's Elden Ring spin-off Nightreign now has a release date of May 30. Not only that, but the roguelike take on the Lands Between also has DLC in the works.
Here's hoping that the Lost Souls Aside devs were talking about the big showcase and not, uh, the death of Duolingo mascot that's currently going viral.
If you've been out of the loop, Lost Souls Aside was first revealed around nine years ago, though we found out last year that the Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry mash-up is finally due to release this year. It's been a wait, though one that seems to be drawing to a close. Check out the trailer below for the vibe.
Starting with a game that essentially seems confirmed to show up, it looks like we're finally getting another look at Lost Soul Aside. Fans were quick to notice that the developers retweeted the State of Play announcement, and while that doesn't mean too much, we then got a follow-up that made the tease somewhat more concrete.
The answer is « yes ».February 11, 2025
And away we go! We've got many hours to go until the showcase itself, though that gives us plenty of time to get into some predictions and round up some rumors doin' the rounds.
