Speculations – a strong source of exhilaration – have always been a huge part of the video gaming community. And we cannot help but think about what the upcoming State of Play has in store for us. So, let’s take a look at the list of five things we can expect at the Sony State of Play June 2022 event.
God of War Ragnarok fans may find some answers
Many will dismiss the possibility of Ragnarok’s appearance at the upcoming State of Play. According to Sony, the upcoming State of Play features third-party reveals. God of War Ragnarok is a PlayStation exclusive and is home-grown (first-party).
Hence, the possibility of it appearing at the upcoming State of Play event is low. Earlier, in April 2022, an official announcement revealed that the team isn’t yet ready to showcase the game to the world.
