Along with that, the leak expressed that the game will be set during the summer of 2025, and players will encounter more aggressive and fast-paced zombies while exploring the newly introduced open-world elements of the game.
Aside from Resident Evil, speculations are going wild about what PlayStation State of Play may bring for players.
What Is PlayStation State of Play Going to Reveal This Time?

However, what this State of Play event will cover can’t be exactly stated as there’s nothing revealed about this matter.
Anyway, the ESRB rating of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has almost confirmed that it will be there. Though no one is really happy with this one, especially when PlayStation players have been expecting remakes like Bloodborne.
Following this, LEGO Horizon Adventures may also be in the queue during the upcoming State of Play. Along with these, Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2 may also show up at the event.
Until any official news comes, everything is just speculation that may or may not happen.
