Sony is all set for a new State of Play event, and despite rumors suggesting that it has been delayed, it seems like we might end up getting this month as well.

It's been a year since the PlayStation 5 was launched, but we haven't got any big exclusives as such apart from Demon's Souls and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. Some of Sony's biggest IPs are still missing from the fray, including fan-favorites such as God of War and Horizon Forbidden West.

A while ago, it was leaked that Horizon Forbidden West has been delayed to 2022. The game was slated to release this year itself, but will now be arriving in the first quarter of 2022 as per reports. This was quite disappointing news for a lot of fans, as they were eagerly looking forward to playing it this year itself.

It seems like Sony is gearing up for another State of Play event, and there could be something exciting coming up there.
