Sony Confirms PlayStation Showcase for September: What to Expect from the Fall Lineup

Sony has officially announced a new PlayStation Showcase set for September, confirming weeks of speculation and rumors among fans and insiders alike. The digital event is scheduled to air on September 14 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET and promises to spotlight upcoming PS5 and PlayStation VR2 games slated for late 2024 and early 2025.

In a post on the official PlayStation Blog this morning, Sony teased “major updates from PlayStation Studios, third-party partners, and exciting indie projects.” While specific titles haven’t been officially confirmed, fans can reasonably expect to see fresh gameplay from Marvel’s Wolverine, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s *Spider-Man: Miles Morales*, as well as updates on Naughty Dog’s multiplayer *The Last of Us* title, which has been in development limbo for months.

Third-party titles could include Atlus’ *Metaphor: ReFantazio* and Capcom’s rumored *Monster Hunter Wild*, while recent ESRB ratings point to a remastered collection of classic *Metal Gear Solid* titles, possibly with expanded support for current-gen features. Don’t rule out Square Enix either—Final Fantasy VII Rebirth still has more to show ahead of its early 2025 launch window.

PlayStation Studios’ fall strategy is also expected to be front and center. Insiders have hinted that Bluepoint Games may finally make their rumored original IP reveal, and fans are eager to learn what’s next for Santa Monica Studio following *God of War Ragnarök*. Additionally, VR aficionados should keep an eye out for new PS VR2 titles, with analysts predicting more media-rich experiences tailored for the console’s cutting-edge hardware.

Sony’s last major showcase was nearly a year ago, and the company has faced criticism over a perceived lack of communication about its first-party roadmap. This September presentation could be a pivotal moment for PlayStation as it seeks to regain momentum heading into the holiday season and position itself ahead of competitors amid growing pressure from Xbox’s Game Pass and Nintendo’s upcoming hardware reveal.

The broadcast will be available live on PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. Fans are advised to tune in early, as Sony has a reputation for surprising reveals—and this time, expectations are sky high.
