Sony is planning a PlayStation showcase next month, it’s claimed
Sony is reportedly planning to hold a PlayStation product showcase next month.
That’s according to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who said today he’s heard “a bunch of times” that either a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play will take place in May.
Following the news that Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake has been classified by the ESRB, Grubb said he’s expecting the game to appear at the PlayStation event, when it could receive a release date.
“I have heard that there will be a PlayStation something, either a State of Play or a Showcase, next month, in May, so this is probably going to be there,” he said.
“I’ve heard both a Showcase and maybe State of Play,” Grubb added. “It seems like it might lean towards Showcase, it’s definitely in that timeframe of when they did the Showcase last year.”
A PlayStation Showcase held in May 2023 ran for over an hour and featured more than 30 games, as well as the PlayStation Portal reveal.
New game announcement included Helldivers 2, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Marathon. Foamstars, Fairgame$, and Concord.
Announced in October 2022, the Silent Hill 2 remake is in development for PS5 and PC at Bloober Team, the Polish studio behind The Medium, Layers of Fear and Blair Witch.
A combat-focused trailer featured during a State of Play presentation in January received a mixed reception from fans.
The president of Bloober Team subsequently distanced the studio from the trailer, reportedly stating it wasn’t an accurate representation of the game and that Konami was solely responsible for the product’s marketing.
