It seems that the summer of live gaming events is kicking off a little earlier than expected. Sony joined the festivities by announcing its next State of Play showcase, which will air a full week before the busy Summer Game Fest period kicks off. This will be the second such showcase of the year for Sony; earlier in the year, we got fresh looks at Death Stranding 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the surprise launch of a Silent Hill game.

The May showcase promises to be a rapid-fire event. While we don’t know exactly what will be featured, Sony says that it will include 14 games in around 30 minutes, spanning both PS5 and PS VR2. There are a number of high-profile titles in the works that could potentially make an appearance, including Insomniac’s Wolverine, Bungie’s new Marathon, and Firewalk’s multiplayer shooter Concord. Meanwhile, Remedy appears to be teasing something Alan Wake-related, and we could also get the official details on Sony’s PS VR2 adapter for PC.
