Another summer of gaming industry livestreams is set to kick off with another PlayStation Showcase this month as Sony prepares to blow gamers’ minds with surprise announcements on a slate of future games.
There are plenty of rumors going into the showcase this year, especially considering that PlayStation has been relatively quiet for the past few months outside of a couple of State of Play streams for Final Fantasy XVI and Hogwarts Legacy.
The newest Final Fantasy game may make another appearance ahead of its launch in June, and it’s well past time for another appearance from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 before it launches some time in 2023. But outside of that, it’s all speculation as to what may appear.
Rumors about the showcase point to everything from new games by Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, Bungie, Konami, Haven Studios, and a long-awaited and wished-for remaster of Bloodborne for PS5 and PC. But until the show begins, it’s all just conjecture and a long wishlist of massive announcements that PlayStation fans have been thirsting after for some time now.
