PlayStation September Showcase Announced, Will Include Sneak Peak At The Future Of PS5

Sony has announced a PlayStation Showcase event for September 9 that will reveal updates on upcoming games. Sony says that this event will be around 40 minutes in length, and will begin at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, giving viewers a glimpse into the future of the PS5 console and games releasing this holiday and beyond.

Fans can expect news from PlayStation Studios and industry developers, as well as a post-show presentation for more updates from some of the studio teams featured in the event.

One part of the PlayStation experience that won't be making an appearance though is Sony's next generation of virtual reality, but there will be "plenty of great PS5 games from developers large and small," according to the company.

Sony has held regular State of Play livestreams since last year, which focus on announcements from both its first-party and third-party studios. When the company opts for one of its more signature events though, that's usually a sign that some big news is on the horizon.

Now that games such as Returnal and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart have launched, Sony's next big first-party games consist of February 2022's Horizon Forbidden West, and beyond that, God of War: Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Final Fantasy XVI, and a multiplayer game that The Last of Us Part 2 studio Naughty Dog has begun working on.

Things I wants to see.

1) GOW: Ragnarök gameplay.

2) Some crazy-huge number of units ready to be shipped.

3) Legacy of Kain announcement.

4) Some more gameplay for Stray. How long is it going to be?

5) Some FF16 news.

To all the people that constantly go on about stock, they always said before launch that stock will be very limited, we are going through a pandemic, I got up early when pre orders went live and got one with zero problems, the early bird catches the worm, give it a rest with the constant “well I’d be happier if they say stock is available” it’s not and they warned everyone of this fact before launch

All Sony has to do is come out and say "We will have tons of PS5s in stock from now on" and that would honestly be enough to quench most fans' thirst.

That being said, I would love for Sony to announce some brand new IPs or bring back some lost and forgotten franchises. Obviously more news on huge AAA titles like God of War or Horizon will be more than welcome but it is the titles that no one expects that can really make this showcase something to remember.

I hope the future of PS5 includes having them in stock at retailers or online consistently.

It should be interesting to see how they intend to rationalize neutering the heatsink so much and letting the hardware run so much hotter in the CFI-11xx model PS5s, along with axing two of the four wi-fi antennae. Any PC builder worth their salt knows that components have a much longer lifespan when kept cool, and tend to die far earlier than expected when running hot like the new PS5 models do.

I'm glad I dodged a bullet and got a launch model PS5. Cooler running hardware also means cooler air exhausted back into the room. Considering I have a computer, TV, prepro, amplifier, and active subwoofer in my room, I already have to contend with a lot of heat. Having the PS5 run cooler means the rest of the room stays cooler as well.
