The rumored planned PlayStation Showcase is still taking place this month, according to reputable journalist and insider Jeff Grubb.
Last month, Grubb said that a PlayStation event would be taking place this month, and even suggested that the Silent Hill 2 Remake could make an appearance during the show. In the most recent Giant Bombcast, Grubb again mentioned this rumored Sony event, and although he isn't sure when the showcase will take place this month, it could be announced at any moment.
"The PlayStation Showcase is happening this month still apparently", Grubb said during the stream. "But whether it's next week or the week after I honestly don't know. Could be the end of the month, but I won't be surprised this does actually happen next week, it could happen at any moment."
Last month, ResetEra user 'John Harker' also mentioned a planned event for this month and referred to a post he made back in January of this year. "What gets shown now and what gets saved for the May "e3" show", the verified ResetEra user wrote in January.
Last year, Sony also aired a May showcase during which Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 and Bungie's Marathon headlined the event. It will be interesting to learn what Sony will be showing during this year's showcase. We'll keep you updated as soon as more information about the rumored event comes in. What are your thoughts? What will Sony be showing off? Hit the comments below.
Down below we've included some additional details about Bungie's Marathon from last year's showcase:
"With Marathon, one of the areas that is a big focus for us is our player-based storytelling", game director Christopher Barrett wrote last year. "The original Marathon games revealed story moments through terminals, all in text. But now we have so many more ways to immerse players in this world, both in and out of the game. We’ll be carrying that through in the design of this game."
Sony and LEGO are reportedly collaborating on a new PlayStation video game called LEGO Horizon Adventures.
Sony president Hiroki Totoki has stated that we will get to learn more about the long-term vision behind Sony Interactive Entertainment later this month. This would indicate that there are likely some new announcements that will be made soon.
While PS5 shipments missed Sony’s forecasted 21 million for fiscal year 2024, Sony had some positive news in its financials regarding PSN users and software sales. It revealed that the PlayStation Network reached 118 million monthly active users as of March 31st, 2024, up a whopping 10 million from the same period of last fiscal year.
Today, alongside its financial report, Sony announced a new leadership structure for its PlayStation division (Sony Interactive Entertainment). Following the departure of Jim Ryan, they had been looking for a new Chief Executive Officer; as it turns out, they found two.
Sony Group is set to reveal its "long-term vision" – including Sony Interactive Entertainment's role in that – later this month, as two PlayStation veterans are brought on board as new SIE CEOs to replace Jim Ryan.
A PlayStation Showcase could be happening before the end of the month. At least, that's what it sounds like based on a letter from Hiroki Totoki, who took over as Chairman of PlayStation after Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino were named CEOs.
After the rumored cancellation of Deviation Games’ project and shutting down last March, Sony has allegedly established a new studio comprised of its former developers. Furthermore, the team working on a new unannounced IP.
With the Xbox Games Showcase less than a month away, rumors circulated about what could appear. Gears 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War are favorites, but The Initiative’s Perfect Dark may be another. After reports from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb about it being in “rough shape,” insider Nate the Hate said it could make an appearance.
Following Xbox's decision to close down three studios (Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and Alpha Dog Games) and roll Roundhouse Studios into ZeniMax Online, Jeff Grubb's rumor that the Perfect Dark reboot was in rough waters made things look even more dire for Xbox fans.
With Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut due to release on May 16th for PC, one has to wonder about Sony’s next PC port of an established PlayStation title. Though not official, noted leaker billbil-kun reported on Dealabs that it’s Sony Santa Monica’s God of War Ragnarok.
The God of War Ragnarok PC port should be announced this month, according to a well-known leaker.
The Xbox Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest will return in June, but in the meantime, Sony is allegedly hosting a new PlayStation Showcase this month. The company hasn’t confirmed the same, but Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb recently reported that it’s still coming.
