Earlier this month, it was reported that the playstation showcase could be held in August. This came through a known insider, Nick Baker, who at the time also claimed that his source suggested he might move to another date.
From the beginning, this rumor seemed unlikely, because all the PlayStation Showcases that have been held so far have taken place in September. Now, with the month of August drawing to a close, a new rumor seems to be circulating, from various sources, that the event would take place on September 8.
Indeed, it must be borne in mind that there is likely to be a playstation showcase soon only by the patterns of the past. This is much bigger than a State of Play, and the 2021 PlayStation Showcase set a very high bar for this year’s event. At the latest event, Sony and its partners revealed and showcased a number of games, including KOTOR Remake, Alan Wake Remastered, Guardians of the Galaxy, Gran Turismo 7, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, and God of War Ragnarok.
Seeing so many big names in one event was beyond exciting for the future of the platform, and this event has to follow all of that. The date of September 8 has been shared by various online sources, and has spread throughout social networks. Nick Baker also received this date from his source, which he shared online in an obviously blacked-out screenshot.
According to Baker’s source, his sources told him on September 8 within twenty minutes. This date was also chosen to get ahead of the next Disney and Marvel Games Showcase event, which will take place on September 9. If this rumor is true, it could be a good couple of days for fans.
If it were any other company, it would stand to reason that fans would know more relatively soon. However, Sony’s announcements usually come a little closer to the event. Most State of Play events, for example, are announced on the Monday or Tuesday of the week they are held, with the event taking place the following Wednesday or Thursday.
