A PlayStation State of Play event is likely scheduled for February 12, 2026, following an accidental disclosure by a senior Sony executive. Mihir Sheth, Senior Director of Product Development at PlayStation, inadvertently appeared to confirm the date while retweeting a previous event announcement.
Sheth shared what appeared to be the official State of Play announcement for February 12th on his X (formerly Twitter) account. However, it was quickly noticed that he had reposted the announcement from last year’s event, which coincidentally took place on the same date. The tweet was promptly deleted, but not before users captured screenshots of the post.
The incident has fueled existing rumors about a new Sony presentation next week. Sony has traditionally held State of Play showcases around this time of year, establishing a pattern that increases the likelihood of an event on that date. These presentations are key moments for the gaming industry, often revealing new titles and updates to existing franchises.
Adding to the anticipation, acclaimed director Hideo Kojima recently indicated he is finalizing a new trailer. Should the event be confirmed, the State of Play is expected to showcase updates on anticipated titles including Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Saros, and 4Loop. Speculation also points to a potential reveal of a 2.5D Metroidvania spin-off within the God of War franchise, which is reportedly in development.
As is their custom, Sony is expected to officially confirm the event only one day in advance, maintaining their standard communication strategy for these digital showcases. You can find more details on this developing story at GamingBolt.
