Following weeks of rumors and speculations, it is now official. The next PlayStation showcase will air next week to provide new information on upcoming PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 titles.
The showcase, which will air next Wednesday, May 24th, at 1 pm Pacific Time, 9 pm British Time, will be around an hour long and will focus on PS5 and PS VR2 games in development for studios around the world, as confirmed with a new post on the Official PlayStation Blog. The event will provide a glimpse at new titles from PlayStation Studios as well as from third-party partners and indie creators, so it seems like there will be a little bit for everyone.
As for what precisely will be shown during the new PlayStation Showcase, not much has been said, but some titles are almost a given, such as Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which is scheduled to release later this year. Naughty Dog has been hard at work on a new The Last of Us multiplayer experience, so we may be getting a look at it as well. With Final Fantasy XVI right around the corner, it wouldn't be surprising to see more of Square Enix's highly anticipated role-playing game for the last time before it releases in late June. A playable demo is set to release before the game launches, so the showcase would be the perfect occasion to officially confirm when it will drop.
In the coming days, we are sure to hear more rumors about what is getting shown during the next PlayStation Showcase, so keep following us to be among the first to learn everything there is to know about this highly anticipated event.
