PlayStation 5

The information leaked in these hours on Reddit is making a lot of talk especially the current owners of PlayStation 5. The user Air_Radiant had previously correctly revealed both the name and the dates of the past PlayStation Showcase, and now it is back to be heard potentially leaking a new direct. Very interesting is the fact that from the premises it does not seem the usual live dedicated to games coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but it will be something very different.

First of all, the user explains that in addition to presenting titles for PS5, this live broadcast will specifically announce the founding of a new Japanese development studio. This is already a detail that could be talked about for a long time, especially since Sony PlayStation has slowly lost its importance in Japan, in the face of an ever-increasing power of the Nintendo giant. According to Air_Radiant, the event in question will be called "PlayStation Experience" and will hold true to all the others with the same name previously: PSVR 2, Astro Bot 2 and the reboot of the WipeOut series will also be officially announced. as well as confirming the opening of the new studio in Japan.

User says Sony deliberately showed more third-party titles during the PlayStation Showcase just to hold its exclusives for this special event. Furthermore, the duration should be even longer than the last live one, precisely because the new virtual reality viewer, the development studio and some triple A games will be presented. Air_Radiant explains that there will also be a title that is talked about by many. years, but that has never been announced, which is why everyone's thoughts immediately turn to Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill.

It goes without saying that for the moment there are no official confirmations from Sony PlayStation, although the user has proved to be quite reliable especially for having revealed the actual dates of the PlayStation Showcase in advance. We will see how many other surprises are coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, but until then we advise you to stay connected on our pages so as not to miss any updates on this possible new event.
