Insider claims many absent PlayStation games are “pretty much ready”

After a year and a half of waiting, Sony finally hosted another PlayStation Showcase. Unfortunately, the general consensus appears to be that the console manufacturer was unable to live up to the hype – primarily due to a lack of first-party titles. That said, according to one insider, many of the games absent from the showcase “are pretty much ready.”

Speaking on the recent PlayStation Showcase, Tom Henderson (via Insider-Gaming) responded to the “mediocre” event, claiming that:

“Updates and reveals on PlayStation’s new hardware, in addition to focusing solely on 1st party titles would be the showcase that PlayStation needs to set up the next phase. It’s understood that a lot of the games we’re waiting on seeing are pretty much ready, so I’m not sure why Sony decided to wait this time around.”

While we saw a decent number of new first-party PlayStation titles, only one (Spider-Man) featured actual gameplay. Furthermore, many games which were expected to make an appearance ultimately did not (*cough cough* The Last of Us Multiplayer *cough cough*).

This has led some to wonder whether Sony is planning to host a second PlayStation Showcase later this year. Back in 2020, the company did just that – premiering their PlayStation Showcase in June followed up by a second showcase a few months later in September. Perhaps Sony is planning something similar this year? We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
