Rumour: Konami Expected to Feature in Huge PS Showcase in Coming Weeks | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sprinkle a little more fuel on the flaming PS Showcase log fire. Following on from this weekend’s social media speculation – in which it was suggested Sony may have signed up timed exclusivity for a trio of Konami classics – VGC’s editor Andy Robinson has attached his name to the rapidly multiplying rumours, claiming he’s heard a livestream is happening “in the usual late May / early June window, with Konami stuff included”.

This has been the line we’ve been hearing for a long time now, although the Japanese giant is yet to confirm anything. Remember, while it did host a series of State of Plays in 2022, it skipped its annual tentpole “E3-style” press conference entirely, and as a result there are vanishingly few first-party projects currently announced. We know Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is expected in September, but even the nature of that’s remained a secret since its first trailer a few years ago.

There are so many games in development for PS5 that it does feel time for a proper coming out party, but this remains speculation until Sony officially dates an event. Given its current engagement strategy with enthusiasts, we doubt it’ll announce anything until days before the show itself, so even though we’re knee-deep into May now, don’t expect confirmation for a couple more weeks at least.

Whatever gets me Castlevania and Metal Gear. Not Metal Gear Survive, though. We don't want that Metal Gear.

This showcase is getting hyped up so much that it's going to disappoint alot of people, even if it gets alot of amazing titles.
