The video will also offer an extended look at MediEvil and “other updates and announcements from upcoming PS4 games”.

SIE noted that fans should not expect “any updates relating to our next-generation plans”.

State of Play is the new video programme PlayStation is planning to use throughout the year for “updates and announcements”. The company won’t have a presence at the E3 2019 expo in June.

Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct series kickstarted the video streaming vehicle for platform announcements in 2011, with Xbox following with its Inside Xbox series in 2018.

In the first State of Play episode, Sony announced several games for PlayStation VR and premiered trailers for Mortal Kombat 11, Concrete Genie and Days Gone.
