While many players hope to be able to enjoy a PlayStation Showcase in the coming weeks, the presence of Sony at the summer conference ball seems uncertain to say the least.
Without it appearing, we are almost already at the doors of summer conferences, which are a particularly acclaimed moment by the players. Indeed, the E3 may no longer be, but that does not prevent the various publishers from communicating on their own, whether through the Summer Game Fest by Geoff Keighley or independent words. And if we still do not know the exact program awaiting us for the coming weeks, those who are waiting after a PlayStation Showcase could be disappointed.
No PlayStation Showcase in sight for this summer?
Indeed, interviewed by Internet users on the Resetera forums, the insider Natedrake (also known by the pseudo Natethehate) revealed that he had no echo concerning any speech on the part of PlayStation this summer. “Have you heard of a Sony show?” Compared to last year, it’s very calm ” asked him one of the forum members. To which he simply replied: « Non ». In fact, the last state of play dedicated to Borderlands 4 could thus be the last conference organized by Sony for a little while.
Nevertheless it must be emphasized, his answer is still quite ambiguous. Because as it stands, we could also very well assume that it is not because it has heard nothing on its side that it necessarily means that there will be nothing at all. Especially when we see that it was not later that last week, journalist Jeff Grubb claimed that PlayStation still hesitated Between the organization of a PlayStation Showcase or a State of Play. The difference being, then, the nature of the content which would be presented there, in particular on the First Party side. On the other hand, theinsider Harker, who also has a good passive when it comes to the brand, has heard of such an event but rather for the start of the school year, in September. So could it only be awarded for an even more impactful conference?
Sony program still uncertain
So who to believe? It remains difficult to say. In the past, both have already regularly proven the reliability of their information, even if Grubb would not be to its first mistake on its side. In any case, we will not have to wait long before being fixed, since hostilities should start from June 6 with the launch of the Summer Game Fest. Unless PlayStation decides to speak before that. By the end of May, for example, as he was able to do multiple times before.
Otherwise, it will then be necessary to bet on a speaking for the start of the school year, probably around September. However, it remains to be seen whether we will be entitled to yet another state of play, or if the PlayStation Showcase format, which has been missing since 2023, will finally return. Because casually, there would undoubtedly be things to show on the side of the PlayStation Studios. Between Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Saros, Marvel’s Wolverinethe new BEND Studio license or the Next Santa Monica gamethere would be enough to do.
