Rumor: PlayStation State of Play Coming in February
A new rumor points to Sony hosting a new State of Play livestream event for PlayStation in February, likely revealing new details about 2026 titles.
As reported by Gematsu, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo has stated that the company will be making a big announcement in February to reveal its next game. In a recent interview at Taipei Game Show 2026, Kondo confirmed that Falcom will be releasing two new titles in 2026. While the first title will be the sequel to Falcom’s runaway hit Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, the developer hasn’t revealed anything about the second title just yet. Kondo acknowledged that Falcom hasn’t released two new titles in the same year in quite some time, but he also expressed confidence about the company’s ambitious goal.
According to Kondo, both Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter and the unannounced title are at a point in development where Falcom feels certain that it can deliver both games in 2026. While there’s no way of knowing what Falcom has planned, some fans are hopeful that this new project could become one of the most anticipated games of 2026. It’s worth noting that 2026 marks the 45th anniversary of Falcom as a company, which means the developer could be looking to make a big splash as a way of celebrating. Regardless, it seems as if fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on some new information, as Kondo has confirmed that the big announcement will happen this month.
Of course, some fans are already wondering when the unannounced title will be released, as it’s expected that Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will make its debut in the fall. While it’s still only February, 2026’s video game calendar is already full of heavy hitters like Grand Theft Auto 6, Marvel’s Wolverine, Saros, Resident Evil Requiem, and many more. Of course, it’s always possible that the landscape could change in the coming months, as games regularly experience delays during development. With Grand Theft Auto 6 scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, many fans have expressed concerns about even a minor delay, as such a hiccup could push the highly anticipated title into 2027. Regardless of what happens with other developers, Falcom seems confident about releasing both of its upcoming titles in 2026, which could be great news for RPG fans eager to get their hands on something fresh.
