Just taking a shot in the dark, but I'm thinking (hoping) we might get a State of Play this week.
Based on:
1. The King of Fighters XV. There was a
50-second reveal trailer a few days ago with a 2021 release window and no mention of platforms, but SNK
said it has another trailer planned for this coming week. Considering The King of Fighters XIV Ultimate Edition and The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match were only announced for PS4, and they still haven't mentioned platforms for XV or set a specific date for this week's new trailer, my guess is The King of Fighters XV is a PS4/5 title and will be featured in a State of Play.
2. Square Enix trademarked Forspoken in
Australia on January 6 and
Europe on January 7. Forspoken was first
trademarked in Japan back in September 2020. While many have speculated this to be the subtitle of the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, producer Naoki Yoshida specifically said it's not in an interview with GAME Watch. So my next guess is it's the official title for Project Athia. And if that's the case, we may be seeing more of it soon (like in a State of Play) considering the trademarks were recent. Also, the domain for
project-athia.com was last updated on the same day as the last update for the domains
forspoken.com,
forspokengame.com, and
forspoken-game.com (which was October 21), and all are registered by CSC Corporate Domains.
3. Pre-orders for Resident Evil Village are supposed to start in January, according to the Capcom data leaks. All major Resident Evil Village news so far has come from Sony's PS5 events, meaning we may get our next big update in a State of Play again right before pre-orders open.
On an unrelated note, five years ago (Friday, January 8, 2016), Square Enix
announced its Dragon Quest 30th Anniversary Project Presentation, which was held the following week, so hopefully we'll hear something from Square Enix about Dragon Quest's 35th anniversary plans soon.
In any event, I'm just guessing and don't actually have any knowledge of when the next State of Play will occur, so don't get upset if it doesn't happen.
