It’s been nearly two years since Sony and PlayStation put together the PlayStation Show. Nearly two years without major conferences, courtesy of the State of Play. Let’s remember, then, that the first is a large-scale conference designed to deliver a large load of news, while the second is smaller broadcasts in which trailers and more specific news are revealed.
And while it is true that the latter can have a significant impact and/or be particularly important, the idea is different. And for this very reason, people were so eager to hold one of these conferences again.. Especially when one takes into consideration that there isn’t much information out there about new PlayStation exclusives.
Indeed, although in the PlayStation Showcase it is very likely that advertisements related to third parties and third-party companies will appear, the main protagonists should be IP created through PlayStation Studios and other exclusive subsidiaries of the same company. With that in mind, there are several things that can be expected, although nothing is confirmed.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 should be one of the heroes
For starters, unfortunately, rumors and leaks say there will be nothing from Ghost of Tsushima 2.so the sequel to Jin Sakai will have to wait. What seems very likely is that we’ll have a space dedicated to both Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI. The first is being developed exclusively for the PS5 and will be released in 2023, so it seems logical that they would bring up its release date at the show.
It is already known that the second will arrive this summer, which will temporarily be a console exclusive on PlayStation and which will arrive on PC after a while. And although we’ve already seen a lot about himThey might give us a fresh batch as an appetizer. Whatever it was, it shouldn’t be one of the main characters. Not much less.
probably Naughty Dog is one of the most attended studies alongside Factions 2, the standalone multiplayer mode for The Last of Us. Without a doubt, it would be an interesting resource and a very powerful advertisement. In the same way, one would expect Metal Gear Solid to debut with something new, as the saga would – in theory – be augmented with new exclusives for Sony’s console.
All this will be accompanied by smaller games, Any India and AA, developed by third-party companies and/or the PlayStation Studios conglomerate. Taking into account the official press release, news regarding the latter for both PS5 and PSVR2 should be presented. The volume is unknown, but there should be many news.
Reviving Final Fantasy VII should be significant
Considering that it was recently announced, Mortal Kombat 1 may appear. We know almost nothing about the reboot and It is true that Warner Bros. Games and Sony have a good relationship, so Showcase It would be the perfect excuse to show off something new. There are those who say that a still-unconfirmed Disney-based Smash Bros. (Disney hegemony) could show up, but that seems very unlikely.
Who should be very present is he Final Fantasy VII RebirthSince we haven’t heard anything about the second part of the FFVII remake for a long time now is the time to bring things up. The most reasonable thing is to wait for the launch window, gameplay and / or extended trailer. Anything else would leave us really cold.
In this same sense, Hades 2 could also have its moment of glory. With it being one of the most anticipated indie games of 2023 and one of the best (pre-)games in recent years, it only makes sense that it would hit a big stage like Showcase. Whatever the case, most of these details are rumors, speculation, and speculation, so we’ll have to wait.
