gadgets.ndtv.com:

Sony has finally announced its summer video game showcase event, which will take place next week. In a tweet, PlayStation confirmed an hour-long showcase that promises to reveal ‘new creations' from its first and third-party studios, targeted for release on the PS5 and PS VR2. The event will be livestreamed across PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels on May 25 at 1:30am IST in India, and May 24 at 1pm PT in the US. The update comes in the wake of Geoff Keighley confirming the publisher's inclusion in his Summer Game Fest lineup, which is slated to kick off in June. PlayStation previously pulled out of this year's E3 event, alongside Xbox and Nintendo, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the summer video game expo.

For now, it's hard to speculate what titles could be shown at the event, but Marvel's Spider-Man 2 won't be a surprise, given it's nearing its fall/ autumn release window. The Venom voice actor for the game Tony Todd previously claimed that Insomniac Games' next title will release in September, with big advertisement campaigns coming in August. The studio is also working on a standalone Wolverine game, so hopefully we get an update on that as well. Another major PlayStation heavy hitter is Naughty Dog, which previously confirmed that The Last of Us multiplayer game was in development. Based on concept art, it seems as though the title will be set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco and will toss players into a brutal experience featuring a new narrative and cast.
