The rumors were true this time. Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially announced a PlayStation showcase for Thursday, September 9th, at 1 pm PT / 4 pm ET / 9 pm BST / 10 pm CEST. For other time zones, head over to timeanddate.com.
The event will offer “a look into the future of PlayStation 5.” The whole affair will last around 40 minutes, and will include updates from PlayStation Studios as well as “some of the industry’s most imaginative developers” (read: third-party studios). The showcase will focus on video games set for release in holiday 2021 and beyond.
Save the date!

“You’ve been awfully patient, and we thank you for that,” SIE Content Communications’ Senior Director, Sid Shuman, wrote on the PlayStation Blog. “And now we’re looking forward to showing you what we’ve been working on.” He asked fans to stick around after the showcase for more updates from the studios featured in the presentation.
Shuman also noted that the next generation of PlayStation VR won’t make an appearance at the event. However, there will be “plenty of great PS5 games from developers large and small.”
PlayStation LifeStyle will be hosting the livestream as usual so don’t forget to tune in and watch the highly-anticipated showcase with us. If rumors are true, we’ll finally see the upcoming God of War, and maybe – just, maybe, we’ll find out what the deal is with Abandoned.
