As is always the case as events like this approach, it is clear that the fire of rumors is already lit.

Come to think of it, the canaltech listed top 5 expectations for the PlayStation Showcase.
5. Death Stranding 2, Final Fantasy XVI and the omnipresent
In an hour of presentation there is room for many trailers and, as Sony itself said, not everything is announcements in the PlayStation Showcase. Expectations are therefore already high for exclusive or less exclusive launches, with dates near or far, which could appear in what could be one of the main brand presentations this year.
Final Fantasy XVI, for example, is taken for granted. After a big announcement, Hideo Kojima may reappear with new images of Death Stranding 2, showing more of his world and what’s new in the sequel. Another launch approaching is street fighter 6with the partnership between Capcom and Sony making street fighting almost certain.
4.Resident Evil 4 DLC
Anyone who has played Capcom’s recent horror game, or its original version, knows that Leon’s adventure only tells part of the story. Across the events in that small Spanish village, Ada Wong also acted with her own goals, in a story expansion that, in 2005, arrived months after the original game, on the GameCube, as part of the re-launch of the title for the Playstation 2.
Resident Evil 4 Remake makes it clear that the same will happen now. The DLC Different ways it even has narrative hooks within the plot, and while there are no rumors of its arrival, the expectation of fans is that the expansion will debut later this year, making room for a new and traditional announcement of the horror series in 2024.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the remake of Resident Evil 4 was announced in June 2022 at a Sony event. A year later, also at the PlayStation Showcase, it might be time to announce the rest of this successful storyline, already included in this year’s best games.
3. Spider-Man 2 release date
Here we are talking about a game already announced as one of the main Sony exclusives for 2023. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 should continue the story of the original by merging its two main characters, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but adding fan favorite Venom as one of its main villains and story elements.
The game was announced in September 2021, but we have seen little information about it since then. However, the time is now, if the expectation of a later this year launch is maintained by Sony, with the PlayStation Showcase presenting the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the new gameplay of this PlayStation 5 exclusive.
And with Spider-Man arriving this holiday season, everyone knows the way is now open for developer Insomniac Games’ next game, whose main character is Wolverine. It could also appear at the event, though its more distant release window makes the chances slimmer.
2. PlayStation 5 Pro or portable PS5?
In November 2023 we will complete three years of PlayStation 5 launch. And as anyone who follows it knows, from time to time manufacturers tend to overhaul the list of consoles available to the public, launching versions with a new design or, more recently, more powerful models. For many people, it may be time for Sony to do just that.
The rumors about it are scarcer, but point both in the direction of an alleged PS5 Pro and the launch of a laptop focused on remote gaming with desktop video games. In this first case the conversations revolve around a new digital model, with the possibility of a disk drive sold separately, or a more powerful edition, scheduled for release by Christmas 2024.
In the second, slightly more bizarre example, the conversation concerns a model that has the code name Q Lite and which would be similar to the DualSense, but with an eight-inch screen. The device would require a constant internet connection, but would not run the games itself, being connected to the PlayStation 5’s Remote Play system, allowing for remote play of the titles the user has from the stream.
The bizarre concept is being developed to arrive before the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro, at the end of 2023. Once again, we’re talking a perfect, traditional window for large announcements like these, with the PS Showcase able to give our first look at what many insiders refer to as the ‘second phase of PS5’.
1. Remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, Silent Hill 2 and more Konami
There were years of expectations and halting rumors until nothing less was announced three games of the series silent Hillin October 2022. The main one, a remake of the second and most time-honoured title in the franchise, is the one that seems closest, with the PlayStation Showcase presenting a great opportunity for a new trailer, more details and most importantly, a release date . launch.
Also, the approximation between the Konami and Sony, with a temporary exclusive of the remake of Silent hill 2 for PS5 could bear new fruit. And chief among them would be another re-imagining, this time of the classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, also one of the most consecrated in the saga. The information was published by journalist Andy Robinson in late March, with another journalist, Jez Corden, joining the pack in May.
