While these hugely anticipated PS5 games have been delayed, developers to show off new footage or gameplay, especially seeing as the event will have updates from PlayStation Studios. Who knows, we may also get official release dates for big hits like God of War and Pragmata, along with a better look at the hugely anticipated Elden Ring.
Since other developers will also be involved in the showcase, we may see a new indie IP drop, and possibly more footage from other notable titles such as Far Cry 6, Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and more. The event may give us a sneak peek at exclusive content coming to PS5 and PS4 owners for these titles, much like the exclusive Vanguard alpha for PS players.
Don’t expect any news about the upcoming PSVR 2, however, as Sony states “PlayStation’s next generation of VR won’t make an appearance this time.” Still, at least we’re finally getting more news about upcoming PS5 games.
There’s plenty to expect, so stay tuned for further updates sure to drop on September 9. Speaking of, check out the best PS5 games to play right now, along with our review of the fantastic Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut.
