No PlayStation showcase this summer suggest insiders as Sony waits till autumn
Sony is not thought to be planning any showcase or State of Play event this summer, as insiders tease big Japanese game reveals for Geoff Keighley's show. Over the past five years, Sony has held either a State Of Play presentation or a PlayStation Showcase during the months of May or June. This in turn is the continuation of a decades long tradition of preview events originally timed to coincide with the now defunct E3 expo. Along with Microsoft and Nintendo, Sony has always kept to the same basic schedule (although recently they've preferred late May to early June), while third party publishers have relied on Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. The Xbox showcase is already scheduled for June 8 but given the Switch 2 launch in the same week it's unclear what Nintendo will do. Sony has said nothing so far about an event but multiple insiders suggest that they may not have any presentation until September. Earlier this week, reliable insider NateTheHate, aka NateDrake, (who, amongst other things, accurately predicted the Switch 2 reveal date) has said he still hasn't 'heard anything about a May event from Sony for this year'. This was supported by fellow insider John Harker, who responded to a post in the same ResetEra thread, which speculated Sony was targeting September for its next event. 'Indeed,' he wrote in response. While there's a chance Sony could announce a show over the next two weeks, and blindside everybody, there are usually whispers from insiders in the weeks prior – so the lack of any information suggests Sony might not hold any presentation this summer. If true, this would be somewhat surprising, considering Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is just around the corner, on June 26, and there are rumours of a new God Of War game, but it's possible Sony could showcase these during the main Summer Game Fest show. In fact, in a separate post, NateTheHate has said he knows 'of a few Japanese games being shown and/or revealed at Summer Game Fest', which could include Sony. More Trending This post was in response to a ResetEra user who asked if Japanese games will have a big presence at the show, with Kingdom Hearts 4, Resident Evil 9, Persona 6, and the successor to Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth named as their dream reveals. While it's unclear if he was being sarcastic, NateTheHate replied: 'Your expectations don't seem too high, so you should be 'thrilled' per your own words.' Square Enix recently provided an update on Kingdom Hearts 4 for the first time in years, so it's possible a new trailer is on the horizon. Similarly, Capcom appeared to tease Resident Evil 9 in a video last month, while rumours of a Persona 4 remake have also accelerated recently – so there's a chance they will all pop up in some capacity. Although there's normally always a Nintendo Direct in early or mid June the timing of the Switch 2 launch makes it very hard to predict what they might do. But if they do miss their usual spot there's likely to be another Direct in the late summer. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter, and sign-up to our newsletter.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster out today after reveal, claim insiders
Bethesda's long-awaited remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is set to shadowdrop today, according to several sources. We've known about Microsoft's remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion ever since it was leaked in 2023, but the revamped role-player will finally be showcased later today. Microsoft officially confirmed the remaster's existence yesterday, when it announced a livestream in honour of its reveal, which will take place at 4pm BST today on Bethesda's YouTube channel. Beyond the game's reveal, several insiders have claimed this presentation will see a shadowdrop of the remaster too, allowing you to buy and download it straight away. According to games website MP1st, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster will launch on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on the same day it is revealed, aka today. It is also expected to land on Xbox Game Pass at the same time. This has since been corroborated by insider eXtas1s, who said he 'can 100% confirm this', in response to the report. Last month, reliable insider NateTheHate, who has accurately leaked a bunch of information about the Switch 2 recently, also claimed this might be the case. In a post on X, he said both the 'release and reveal' of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster are 'targeting' April. 'The gap between the reveal and release will be minimal – a shadowdrop is possible,' he added. After Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Hi-Fi Rush, it's clear Microsoft is a fan of shadowdrops, but it seems like an odd launch strategy for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, considering the series' popularity. This is hardly a cult title that needs a gimmicky launch in order to attract attention. More Trending Based on the game's file size, the upgraded version looks to be more substantial than the 'remastered' name suggests. According to dataminer XOX_Leak, it will take up 120GB in total, which is more than 26 times bigger than the original game's 4.6GB. According to prior leaks, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remastered is developed by Virtuos in collaboration with Bethesda. The former is primarily known as a support studio across many big gaming franchises, including the upcoming remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Bethesda is currently working on the next mainline instalment in The Elder Scrolls series, but it isn't expected to launch for several years yet.

Hellblade 2 PS5 Release Date Window Possibly Leaked
Recently, a couple of known games industry insiders claimed Senua's Saga: was coming to soon. While they clarified they were unsure if the PlayStation version of the Xbox exclusive would be announced during the recent State of Play, some may have had hopes for its reveal at the presentation. While it is still unknown whether Ninja Theory's latest is coming to Sony's current-gen platform, another insider has stoked the rumor mill once more, potentially hinting at a release window for the rumored game. In a recent BlueSky post from The Verge's Tom Warren, they claim April will be 'a good month for PS5 gamers.' Nothing specific is really said beyond that, but some recent rumors may suggest Hellblade 2 could be set for that month. As reported earlier this week, known insiders Jez Corden and NateTheHate have both suggested a PS5 version of Hellblade 2 is a lock. Specifically, Corden says it's on its way 'pretty soon', according to his sources. NateTheHate corroborates this by replying to his tweet with a cheeky photo of Senua and a PS5, saying, 'Soon…. very soon.' 'Soon' isn't quite an exact unit of measurement for time, so it's hard to gauge when a Hellblade 2 could release for PS5. Soon could mean tomorrow, or it could mean September. It could also mean April. Truly, this is all very speculative, so we will just have to wait and see when Ninja Theory decides to reveal PS5's next Xbox game. As Warren's BlueSky post was made the day before the State of Play, it could have been referring to a game from the presentation. Now that the showcase has come and gone, there was one game that did get revealed with an April date. Days Gone Remastered continues the trend of Sony modernizing modern games, if that makes any sense. Anyways, the new version of the Bend Studio game launches on April 25. The post Hellblade 2 PS5 Release Date Window Possibly Leaked appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
