The State of Play event is going on right now, with Sony promising a nine-minute look at Deathloop's time-twisted world. The State of Play event will also provide some updates on exciting indie and third-party titles, which means the full show will last around 30 minutes.

Sony has stressed that today's State of Play event will not include updates on God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, or PSVR 2, so keep that in mind.

According to Sony, this State of Play event will focus primarily on Deathloop, and should provide a closer look at Arkane Studios highly-anticipated first-person shooter.

We already know that Deathloop is due to release on September 14, 2021, so we're expecting a more detailed explanation on how the game's time loop elements work and a couple of nice surprises. 

We're hoping that, in addition to shedding some light on what's new with Deathloop, that this showcase will also reveal some key dates for third-party titles and show off a couple of intriguing looking indie games for PS5.
