Sony wasted no time in getting down to business this morning in the first State of Play for 2023. And neither did I. Here’s everything we saw at today’s State of Play.
ALL OF THE FEBRUARY 2023 PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Yet Another Meaty Resident Evil 4 Trailer Was Shown
The trailer showed more of the Castle and Island areas of the game and confirmed that both The Mercenaries will return and that a demo will be available at some point in the future.
We Got A Look At Three More Characters For Street Fighter 6
Zangief and Cammy were shown in all their returning glory, while newcomer Lily was debuted for the first time. It’s all looking really good even if Shannon insists that nobody cares. I can’t fucking wait. It’s still on track to release in June.
Rocksteady Gave Us An Even Deeper Dive Into Suicide Squad And It’s Post Launch Support
Detailing the characters and the world you’ll be exploring in the game, the longer look at the game helped clarify some things.

The Foglands Is A Brand New Western Coming To PlayStation VR2
It’s kind of giving Evil West but with a stylised Sea Of Thieves look. It’s a roguelike too and it’s releasing in 2023.
Green Hell Is Getting A PlayStation VR2 Release
The trailer we saw had us doing all kinds of survival-y stuff. It’s a port of the 2019 survival game previously released on PC and last gen consoles. If you want to manage your hunger and thirst in a video game, then this is for you.

It’s an experience from the team who brought us FarCry VR. It’s exclusive to PlayStation VR2 and is basically an action shooter where you wield telekinetic powers too.

Before Your Eyes Uses Eye Tracking To Its Fullest Potential
In the game, you’ll blink to move through time and the afterlife. It’s a cute and stylised vibe that hits in the early weeks of March. You blink to move on. I was blinking a lot during this presentation.

Now I can stop hearing about how it’s meant to be good from Harry, so it might be my favourite announcement of the morning.
New Caledonian Adventure Game Tchia Has A Release Date

Humanity Is A Brand New Game From The Team Who Brought Us Tetris Effect And Rez
You control a dog of light (???) and herd people from area to area. It’s got a really synthy soundtrack and building elements. It’s a strange vibe, but given how great both Rez and Tetris Effect were, I’m on board. It’s releasing in May 2023 and features VR2 and VR1 functionality on PS5 and PS4 respectively.
Kooky Goodbye Volcano High Got A Release Date And A Trailer
It’s described as a a hybrid cinematic narrative/rhythm game/coming of age/interactive movie experience. What more can you want, honestly? It’s releasing on June 15th 2023.
