It’s a springtime full of games, and time for thesecondState of Play for 2022. Today’s PlayStation State of Play focuses on games from publishers in Japan, and it’s live in just a few.

Today’s presentation is estimated to run about 20 minutes long, discussing PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games. The focus, according to Sony, will be on games coming from publishers in Japan.
The obvious speculation would be aroundFinal Fantasy XVI, which was hit with a delay and confirmed to havesome more info this coming spring. It’s been a little while sinceFinal Fantasy XVIwas shown off back in September 2020, and some update on what’s ahead—and when we could expect it—is something fans seem to be hoping shows up.
Capcom is also a prime suspect. The company just announcedStreet Fighter 6with a new trailer, alongside theCapcom Fighting Collection. But aResident Evil 4 Remakehas been rumored for ages, so that seems like a possibility as well. Is it foolish to hope for aPower Stonerevival?
There are many other guesses as to who might have something new to show off. While the spring is pretty laid out and games have been steadily flooding online storefronts, the fall of 2022 feels pretty open right now.Gotham Knightsgot out and announced a release date for October this morning, but I’m hoping to see a few more “this year” reveals today.
