Sony is planning a new PlayStation Showcase for next month, according to known insider Jeff Grubb.
Grubb said as much during a Giantbomb Twitch stream some hours ago in which the team talked about the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake receiving an ESRB rating. "I have heard that there will be a PlayStation... something - either a State of Play or a Showcase - in May, so this is probably going to be there", he said during the stream.
Grubb later added, "Right, so that's why I brought up the PlayStation thing in May", when talking about the release date of Silent Hill 2 Remake. "If they're not going to announce a date by then - at that point, when that thing is happening - then I would almost assume it's a guarantee we get a date for this game at that thing."
When asked on X whether this new show is either a showcase or a State of Play broadcast, Grubb replied that he "leans" more towards a full showcase.
Showcase is the way I lean.

On the ResetEra forums, verified user 'John Harker' backed Grubb's claim and referred to a post he made earlier about a PlayStation event this May. "Yall knew that already", Harker wrote, referring to a post from back in January of this year when he claimed that Sony is planning its own May E3 show. "What gets shown now and what gets saved for the May "e3" show", he wrote in January.
Last year, Grubb also talked about a PlayStation showcase for May - this later proved to be correct as Sony confirmed a showcase for May 24. As such, Grubb's claim might be a safe bet. We'll update you as soon as we learn more about the rumored PlayStation event next month.
