It's no surprise that rumours are once again emerging about what Sony's next presentation contains. We had quite the new-gen blowout last year with September's PlayStation Showcase, revealing games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marvel’s Wolverine and God of War: Ragnarok details.

There's a few games we're awaiting updates on, alongside those rumoured PSVR games, so here's what this State of Play could potentially look at.
