Though it’s but to be formally introduced, it’s wanting seemingly (primarily based on a number of current leaks from typically credible sources, not less than) that Sony is quickly going to host a PlayStation-focused occasion. Whether or not its a PlayStation Showcase or a State of Play presentation (or maybe one thing else solely) is what there isn’t a lot readability on, however that the corporate will quickly have a giant occasion to current with a number of new bulletins and updates is one thing that everybody appears to be taken granted at this level.
So assuming that this occasion is certainly occurring, what precisely may we hope to see it convey to the desk? Due to a mixture of leaks, educated guesses, and simply pure hope, right here, we’re going to talk about quite a few bulletins that we predict have a fairly good probability of being given a slot on the occasion.
SILENT HILL 2
The look forward to Silent Hill 2’s remake has been lengthy, and although PlayStation mentioned earlier this 12 months that it could launch in 2024 itself, Konami itself has but to make that official. Current leaks have claimed that that can change quickly, with the corporate allegedly readying as much as showcase the survival horror title on the supposed PlayStation Showcase quickly, presumably with a launch date. Hopefully, not solely will we be getting one other Silent Hill 2 trailer quickly, however it’ll additionally truly be, you already know, good, in contrast to the primary one.
METAL GEAR SOLID DELTA: SNAKE EATER
Fellow upcoming Konami remake Steel Gear Stable Delta: Snake Eater is one other sport that there’s loads of pleasure round, despite the truth that we haven’t seen an terrible lot of it. Once more, nonetheless, PlayStation mentioned earlier this 12 months that the MGS3 remake can be launching this 12 months, so assuming that that’s nonetheless the plan, we’d be shocked if we don’t get a brand new trailer for it at this purported imminent PlayStation occasion (on the very least).
FAIRGAME$
Introduced eventually 12 months’s showcase as considered one of a number of main video games bearing the flag of Sony’s stay service push, Fairgame$ has sadly not generated quite a lot of buzz- numerous which is all the way down to the truth that we’ve seen all of 0 seconds of gameplay for it. The sport has no launch date or window but, so it isn’t like Sony or developer Haven are underneath an excessive amount of strain to point out something proper this immediate, however after its cinematic announcement final 12 months, this 12 months’s showcase (if one does occur) can be the proper stage for a gameplay reveal.
CONCORD
Fellow first-party PlayStation stay service sport Harmony is one other sport that we’ve functionally seen completely nothing of. Final 12 months’s showcase introduced with it a CG announcement trailer, however we’ve no actual concept of what the PvP sci-fi shooter truly seems like. Sony not too long ago reiterated that the sport will nonetheless be releasing this 12 months, so we’d be greater than a little bit shocked if the rumoured upcoming showcase didn’t function a gameplay reveal and launch date announcement for Firewalk’s shooter.
MARATHON
Bungie in fact has loads of irons within the hearth proper now, particularly with Future 2: The Closing Form’s launch no longer too distant. You’d assume that that’s what the developer will concentrate on at any main occasion within the close to future, however may a gameplay reveal for Marathon even be on the playing cards? Admittedly, the possibilities of this are comparatively decrease in comparison with another video games we’ve included on this function, particularly with the sport having no official launch window, however one can all the time hope, if nothing else.
NEXT ASTRO BOT
After the wonderful one-two punch of Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro’s Playroom, the demand for a brand new entry within the franchise is excessive, and the demand for that entry to be a full-fledged 3D console platformer appears to be simply as excessive. And as luck would have it, if current leaks are something to go by, a brand new Astro Bot sport is certainly going to be introduced someday within the close to future. Although not precisely a premium flagship IP, Astro Bot has various followers who’d be ecstatic in regards to the prospect of a brand new full-fledged entry.
BLUEPOINT GAMES’ NEXT GAME
Bluepoint Video games has confirmed its worth to the PlayStation fanbase a number of instances over with remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls, although with its subsequent mission, the studio has mentioned it’s growing unique, new content material slightly than a remake, opposite to what many might have anticipated. What precisely will that mission be although? That, in fact, is the massive query that we don’t but have a solution for. That mentioned, with Bluepoint’s final launch – Demon’s Souls – being practically 4 years outdated at this level, one has to wonder if the time is nigh for the studio’s subsequent large sport’s announcement.
SONY BEND’S NEXT GAME
If 4 years since Demon’s Souls means Bluepoint will hopefully be on the brink of unveil its subsequent sport, can the identical be mentioned for Sony Bend as nicely, given the truth that the studio’s final launch was Days Gone 5 years in the past? Granted, the studio did spend a while after Days Gone’s launch transferring from one now-shelved mission to a different (together with a Days Gone sequel pitch that was rejected), however has the studio been at work on its new IP lengthy sufficient to be prepared to start speaking about it, not less than in some capability? That’s the hope, on the very least.
GHOST OF TSUSHIMA 2
From God of Conflict Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, iterative second instalments in Sony’s flagship franchises have usually not taken fairly as lengthy to develop as their predecessors did. Does that imply we will count on Ghost of Tsushima to comply with that very same sample? The open world samurai epic launched in 2020 after six years of growth. Does that imply its sequel shall be prepared for launch within the subsequent 12 months or so? And if that’s true, can we count on an announcement someday soon- maybe even later this month?
GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK FOR PC
Sony has continued to develop its presence within the PC gaming house with main first-party releases, with 20204 itself having introduced with it a number of profitable PC launches for PlayStation within the type of Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, and, in fact, Helldivers 2. And if experiences are to be believed, the subsequent first-party Sony sport set to launch for the platform is God of Conflict Ragnarok. The action-adventure title launched for PlayStation roughly a year-and-a-half in the past at this level, which might counsel {that a} PC launch someday within the latter half of 2024 would make sense. Does that imply an announcement is coming quickly although?
LEGO HORIZON GAME
It looks like we’ve leaks of a brand new Horizon sport being in growth each few weeks. The latest experiences claimed that, consider it or not, LEGO and Sony have collaborated for a LEGO-themed Horizon spinoff. Known as LEGO Horizon Adventures, the sport is allegedly going to be a LEGO tackle the franchise, and although little else is understood about it, it is speculated to be introduced within the not-too-distant future. An announcement on the rumoured showcase, maybe? It’s definitely a chance.
HOUSEMARQUE’S NEW IP
This isn’t as a lot hypothesis or an informed guesses as a lot as it’s pure hope. Housemarque is among the newer additions to Sony’s first-party portfolio, and has already confirmed itself to be some of the gifted studios in that lineup with the unimaginable Returnal. Pleasure surrounding no matter it’s that its subsequent sport seems to be is excessive, primarily based purely on Housemarque’s monitor report, however is that thriller sport going to be introduced anytime quickly? Truthfully, we’ve no idea- however we’d like to get not less than a peak at it.
MARVEL’S VENOM
Courtesy of unlucky leaks, this can be a sport we just about know for certain is coming in some unspecified time in the future within the close to future. Insomniac’s devastating knowledge breach in December revealed that the studio was at work on one other Miles Morales-fashion Spidey spinoff, this time specializing in a playable Venom. As per the leaks, the sport is focusing on a 2025 launch, which implies there’s a non-zero probability (on the very least) that it will get introduced on the rumoured PlayStation Showcase (if it does occur).
RESIDENT EVIL 9
Capcom works additional time to make sure that we by no means go too lengthy with no new Resident Evil launch, and although it doesn’t appear to be 2024 could have a brand new RE title, it’s wanting more and more seemingly that 2025 received’t comply with go well with. Current leaks have claimed that Resident Evil 9 (which, intriguingly sufficient, is supposedly set to function extra open world parts) is focusing on a January 2025 launch and is ready to be introduced quickly. Each single mainline RE sport over the past a number of years has been introduced at a PlayStation occasion, so we wouldn’t be shocked if RE9 will get unveiled within the coming days at one other Sony showcase.
PS5 PRO
Incessant leaks and experiences over the past a number of months have claimed that Sony intends to launch a PS5 Professional later this 12 months, with leaks touting quite a few technical and {hardware} developments. Whether or not or not this era of console gaming wants that could be a totally different dialogue, however assuming that the aforementioned leaks are correct, one would assume that Sony shall be gearing as much as formally unveil the extra highly effective PS5 variant within the close to future. Will the PS Showcase function an acceptable stage? We wouldn’t guess towards it.
