Sony Interactive Entertainment is rumored to host a big PlayStation Showcase within the next few weeks, according to "people with knowledge of Sony Interactive Entertainment's plans" who spoke with VideoGamesChronicle.
The PlayStation Showcase is said to take place at the end of May or the beginning of June, ahead of Summer Game Fest.
Giant Bomb journalist Jeff Grubb also believes a PlayStation Showcase will take place the "week of May 25." He added, "I said ‘week of May 25’ because that’s probably the latest that week it could happen. But it could happen earlier. I just don’t want to say week of May 21 and then people get mad when it doesn’t happen on a Sunday."
The last major PlayStation Showcase took place in 2021, which saw Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Marvel's Wolverine, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake announced.
I'm with Andy. I expect a series of smaller tweets and YouTube drops if anything, but --unlike last year -- that's just speculation. https://t.co/LscgMCVxVb

Would be nice before end of May :) June is pretty packed already. If this MGS rumor is true, I hope to see it at the show!
Not surprising if true. I imagine there would be a full unveiling on Spider-Man 2 and TLOU Factions. And most likely release dates of Stellar Blade and Silent Hill 2.
Gonna see if those MGS3 Remake rumors are true too. It's always an exciting time of the year when showcases start appearing!
I hope the return of twisted metal. that series without a new game is meaningless.
I have 0 doubt a new TM is coming, the IP was never big to justify a series in TV if not with a game on the horizon. Probably launching together or at the end of the series (like TLOU on PC).
They held so much that this show will blow our minds. They have so much shit to show and so much new shit.
I want to see ff7 remake but its to soon.
Considering the last time Sony made a showcase there must be one around the clock.
Naughty dog, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint - show off your projects!
Grubb is the Michael patcher of rumors
Torn. On one hand the earlier the better so May sounds great.
On another this is probably the "If E3 actually existed" conference the big one of the year. So it feels "better" if it is in June to follow the pattern of E3's long passed.
E3 is dead so probably the 3 platform holders would prefer to have weeks of sole voice on the market.
E3 has been dead since 2016 and people would not accept it yet. I have been trying to say since 2013 Nintendo stepping away from conferences is the beginning of the end. 2016 there was a noticeable shift when Bethesda and EA did their own thing before E3. It was terminally ill..
Yep, Nintendo started the trend, Sony took notice and Covid gave the final shot.
Spiderman 2 full reveal and a snipit of GOT 2 would be a great show for me. Add in something from Naughty Dog, Bluepoint, or another Sony studio and it should be a good time. Throw in Silent Hill and MGS3 for good measure. Hopefully we get a huge Playstation extra/premium reveal as well in the show for a big Junes update.
Desperately needed. Hopefully we get some good announcements and solid release dates
