Sony has set its next State of Play for June 2 at 5PM ET, putting a 60-minute-plus showcase at the front of a packed early-June run of game announcements. The virtual presentation will open with a closer look at Marvel’s Wolverine, a sign that one of the year’s most closely watched releases is back in view.
That timing matters because video game event season is underway again, and viewers are already sorting through a dense calendar. Summer Game Fest Live returns on June 5 at 5PM ET, followed two hours later by Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Digital Showcase at 7PM ET, turning the week into a fast-moving stretch of reveals, gameplay clips and surprise debuts.
Sony says its showcase will run more than 60 minutes and include updates, announcements and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world. Marvel’s Wolverine, which is set to launch on September 15, is the first title on deck, giving the company an early spotlight before the wider summer schedule shifts to other publishers and indie studios.
Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest Live is the next major stop, and that is where part of the intrigue sits. Keighley has not teased what games might show up yet, even though the event is expected to draw both franchise-heavy announcements and smaller independent projects. Day of the Devs added another clue to the pace of the week, saying on Bluesky that its show will feature 20 games and 10 premieres.
The old E3 era is long gone, and these stacked showcases have filled the gap with a kind of relay race that now defines early June. The Summer Game Fest website has a more comprehensive events page, but the basic picture is already clear: Sony opens the run on June 2, Keighley’s show follows on June 5, and the rest of the week is likely to keep feeding the same question — which games get the first real stage of summer.
