New PlayStation Showcase rumored for September 2024, leakers "should hear whispers soon"

A PlayStation Showcase is rumored for September 2024, and an insider claims leakers "should hear whispers about the next PS event soon".

[anast]

It's about to go off.

[darthv72]

Rumor has it there will be games shown... and the 5Pro.

[anast]

I'm expecting some big news with this one.

[Babadook7]

Yup. This event was leaked a while ago by someone with a decent track record. Was supposed to announce the PS5 Pro early in September and then more games will debut at Tokyo Game Show near the end of Sept.

[StormSnooper]

There are so many top studios working away on games that I think we are bound to see some major games debuting.

[anast]

for sure

[RaidenBlack]

Lookin' at you Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch (and maybe a hint from Cory Barlog)
... and hoping for Wolverine and Marathon gameplay.

[Ethereal]

Hoping to see what Bluepoint and Housemarque have been working on as well.

[Crows90]

House marque released the only new IP for Sony....a successful one too...

[fr0sty]

Returnal is fantastic. Definitely can't wait for more from them.

[anast]

I heard Marathon was struggling. But there will be some big names for sure.

[90sGamingWasBetter]

'development hell'

[dveio]

Only two or three days after New Year's Eve they had thrown out a very difficult statement to make: no major 1st party titles until at least March '25.

It STILL amazes me to imagine how they most certainly must have resisted to drop the news. And once they did, how they were probably avoiding the Internet for weeks.

Now that we're past this:

Playstation's celebrating its 30th anniversary in this year's December.

Up until then, 12 months of almost complete silence will have gone by.

I'd be suprised if Sony would just write about their anniversary on their PS Blog.

My bet:

Sony's been cooking alot.

At this point in time, they either have finalized their announcement plans for Q4 (Black Friday & Holiday season) or are still evaluating on if there will be a Showcase in Fall or in December.

IF the PS5 Pro is real and IF Playstation Studios are finally able to show what they've been working on, then I am just thrilled for their next Showcase and Q4.

[Ethereal]

Hoping we get anniversary hardware like the 20th.

[darthv72]

...or at least some side plates and controller.

[neutralgamer1992]

What good would that be since scalpers but then to sell later

Sony knows when their studios need more time so they arrange for these 2nd party exclusive deals in advance. Sony may not have had any 1st party games but they have had the best console exclusives this year. I think they are just trying to align their studios on a steady release schedule

[Michiel1989]

I mean obviously their studios are working on stuff, it's not like they gave all of them a 4 year vacation. I just hope there's some rpgs in there but I doubt it. As much as I love their 3rd person story driven action games, I want some different type of games from them, they don't all need to be AAA even.

[shinoff2183]

Word. Please bring some rpgs.

[StormSnooper]

Silence from first party maybe, but it’s been a good year of exclusives for PlayStation. I agree though, they must have been cooking. Deciding not to reveal their projects too soon.

[anast]

With MS dropping the ball, Sony doesn't need a ton of pre-hype anymore.

[dveio]

I am a (lucky) release adopter of the PS5. Always been a Playstationeer.

But I can't buy myself a thrilling gaming night from just Microsoft dropping balls.

I am absolutely positive that the PS5 generation will have an even greater second half-time lifecycle.

And I could even wait another full year without Playstation announcing anything.

But I can't buy myself a thrilling gaming night from Microsoft dropping balls, either.

If I could, I'd be ... obscure.

[anast]

Obscure is a NG4 treasure. He/she must be protected at all costs.

[Elda]

Don't sing it bring it!!

[attilayavuzer]

An announcement for a potential upcoming rumor cycle.

[Leeroyw]

Exactly. If I hear any more games as a service nonsense I will switch to pc.

[anast]

Where the most popular games are games as a service and F2P? How does switching to PC avoid this?

[Leeroyw]

Anast. Seeing as you asked. It doesn't matter what the most popular games are there. It matters that I will have access to much larger AA range of single player games. As well as mods. Also I find the community to be a bit wiser towards predatory corporate behaviour. I suggest people watch a newly released documentary about the downfall of xbox and the arrogance that brought it about. The same thing I fear is happening at playstation. History repeats itself.

[Lightning77]

If they announce Ghost 2 for May or June of next year then expect that at this event or at the game Awards. Ghost 2 and Bends New IP and Fairgames (if you're into that) should be closer to release but that depends if they announce it at this showcase and the game awards in terms of how close those 2 games are ready for release. If those games are no at either event then expect those games a ways off still.

The pro event will focus on 1st and 3rd party to show off the improvements. Hopefully with a new surprise of Bend, Ghost 2 or Fair games as being those newer games.

Looking forward to the event.

[jznrpg]

I am sure Pro is going to be announced.
I’d guess Wolverine will be shown, Ghost of Kamakura(Tsushima 2 rumored name) maybe? Barlogs Sci Fi game maybe?
I don’t think ND new IP will be shown yet but I could be wrong.

Games will come I just want the Pro preorder link.

[anast]

Maybe a new ND teaser though

[jznrpg]

Hope so!

[TwoPicklesGood]

Have heard these rumors so many times now lol. Remember the last showcase was supposed to blow xbox out of the water….it didn’t ace was the worst one in a long time.

[S2Killinit]

I actually don’t remember that at all. I mean granted that PlayStation blows xbox out of the water every generation, but xbox basically came out with a well polished multiplatform fest and announced some first party that still have a long way to go. This showcase will likely be PlayStation’s response. I fully expect green blood will be spilled. (;

[Whitey2k]

Speculating of Unannounced games maybe ps5 pro reveal and more information on its specs maybe a suprise acquisition on a well known studio or a publisher that's been tight lipped. Maybe a suprise handheld gaming device psp 2. Who knows

[jznrpg]

There was some handheld rumors. I doubt it would be announced now with the Pro coming but I would buy it day one. They need to use non-proprietary storage and support it with first party and it would sell a lot.

[isarai]

This HAS to be it, the time we finally hear something about 1st party. We're so passed due on an announcement from like half their studios it's ridiculous.

[bigfish]

Looking forward to this, maybe some vr games aswell.

[gold_drake]

yea i can see that.

im hoping for the ps5 pro reveal

[purple101]

Just sitting here waiting for Naughty Dog to revolutionise the industry like they done every generation so far…. Yeh that’s what’s coming

[edeprez]

Man, they fumbled so hard this generation. Who ever had the idea of 12 gaas titles at once should be fired, and publicly shamed. They're just lucky that everything MS touches turns to sh^t. I'm really hoping Nintendo can pick up the slack in the industry and force some competition out of the rest of them.

[Demetrius]

We will see, we haven't had any gems like that this year

[hiawa23]

Yes, PS5 Pro News!!!!

[Aussiesummer]

Ps5 pro here we go!

[90sGamingWasBetter]

I hear a lot of rumours, I hear a lot of stone cold rumours.

[Zeke68]

Heard this rumour since the PS5 released, one of these days they will guess the right date, might need a few more years, but it will come. ;)
