Fans of tactical espionage action finally got their first extended look at *Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater*, the ground-up remake of Konami’s beloved 2004 classic.

Meanwhile, survival horror fans had their patience rewarded: Bloober Team’s long-awaited *Silent Hill 2* remake now has a release date—October 8, 2024. The chilling new trailer featured haunting re-imaginings of iconic moments, with James Sunderland wandering fog-shrouded streets and facing grotesque monsters that look better—and more terrifying—than ever. Sony confirmed the remake will take advantage of the PS5’s ultra-fast SSD and 3D audio for an immersive horror experience.

Finally, in a joyful reveal that brought levity to the showcase, Team Asobi surprised with a brand-new full-length *Astro Bot* game. Simply titled *Astro Bot*, this ambitious sequel to *Astro’s Playroom* spans over 80 levels across diverse planetary environments, including a Vegas-style casino world and a candy-coated desert. Featuring inventive DualSense features and dozens of hidden PlayStation-themed collectibles, *Astro Bot* releases on September 6, 2024.

With major remakes, long-awaited gameplay reveals, and family-friendly platformers all in one event, this State of Play catered to a wide spectrum of gamers. Sony has made it clear: the rest of 2024 will be anything but quiet.
