On the night of June 11-12, Sony will hold a presentation “The Future of Games”, dedicated to the PlayStation 5. What exactly will be shown at the event is still unknown, so we can dream a little. Console information? Continuation of the cult series? New exclusives? Yes, yes and yes – this and much more we can see tonight.

Playstation 5
Most of all, players want to finally see the hero of the occasion – PlayStation 5. It’s about six months before its release, but Sony is still in no hurry to reveal the cards. Since the announcement, the company shared only technical specifications, but recently it showed the controller for the first time, further teasing fans.
Waiting for a full presentation of the console has been going on for so long that enthusiasts have stopped creating fake designs. In winter, “secret” photos and renderings were “leaked” to the network almost every week. However, despite the importance of appearance, another aspect excites future buyers much more.
Neither Sony nor Microsoft have yet to name the cost of the new consoles. Analysts believe that even the companies themselves are not yet sure of the final price tag and are waiting for the first step from the competitor. Both want to make consumers a better offer, and both have already been fired on this basis – in the cases of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox One, respectively.
Last gossip say that the PlayStation 5 will cost gamers £ 599, or about $ 52.2 thousand. Even earlier, game developers assumedthat the price of the console will vary between $ 500-550 (approximately ₽34.5-38 thousand). We can only hope that the latter have more reliable information, and also wait for regional adjustments.
For information: PlayStation – $ 299, PlayStation 2 – $ 299, PlayStation 3 – $ 499 / $ 599, PlayStation 4 – $ 399.
God of war 2
The sequel to restarting God of War has not yet been announced, but everyone already understands what it will be. Firstly, this is one of the title franchises of the PlayStation. Secondly, the last part left fans with a cliffhanger. Thirdly, the series consistently brings high income, which would not be very reasonable to refuse.
God of War of the 2018 model was distinguished by a high-level staging and amazing technical performance. The developers were not afraid to change the franchise genre – to move away from a large-scale slasher to a more compact action. Equally dramatic changes could be observed in the personality of the aged protagonist. And the production of “without mounting glues” in the spirit of “1917” and “Birdman” is still fascinating. We hope that Santa Monica Studio will hold a loud announcement at the presentation of the PlayStation 5 – the gameplay director of the studio, Jeet Stroff, confirmed the team’s participation in the event.
Horizon Zero Dawn 2
Strictly speaking, only fan-dedicated devotion and logical conclusions allow believing in the sequel of God of War – there is disastrously little information about most major PlayStation franchises. Apart from Horizon, of course, rumors about the continuation of this series appear with regular frequency.
After the release of the original game, journalists found various clues that somehow confirmed the development of the sequel. According to the latest rumors, fans are waiting for a whole trilogy, the second part of which is announced on June 11. Many fans are undoubtedly waiting for the opportunity to return to a post-apocalyptic world filled with beast-like robots. And after Horizon Zero Dawn comes out on PC, there will probably be more fans of the title.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
We live in the golden age of film comics. The hobby for which people were teased by “nerds” until recently consumed the entire planet. In such circumstances, to refuse to continue an extremely successful game based on comics would be at least short-sighted.
In general, Spider-Man was very lucky to have good games – he gets them much more often than colleagues in the superhero workshop. And even against this background, Marvel’s Spider-Man stands out. A beautiful city, a fascinating story and excellent gameplay were just the basis of the title. Thousands of little things clung to it, which were difficult to notice at first glance, but they all created an incredibly whole picture of the world. All this and tons of additives we expect from the sequel. By rumors, its release is scheduled for 2023, so the announcement at the next presentation sounds quite believable.
Gran turismo 7
The Gran Turismo series has been one of the main reasons for buying PlayStation family consoles for over 20 years. Not a single generation has done without this car simulator in their library. The appearance of a new part on the PS5 is only a matter of time. However, until the last moment, it was difficult to believe in the imminent announcement.
Despite the fact that Gran Turismo invariably appeared on all PlayStations, the games of the series never hit the starting line of consoles. GT6 was released on PS3 after the PS4 release. However, in recent years, rumors about the upcoming announcement have begun to appear more and more often. Even the creator of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi, recommended that everyone watch the Future of Games stream, although in Japan it will start at 5 in the morning.
Resident evil 8
If Capcom’s silence lasts even longer, Resident Evil 8 runs the risk of becoming the first game to be reviewed by insiders, not by going through them. New information about the game appears almost every week from many unrelated sources, so a full announcement in the near future seems to be the only logical way out of the situation.
Last a hint on the imminent announcement was a large-scale sale of games in the series. The promotion began on June 4, the day the PlayStation 5 presentation was originally planned. Reducing the prices of previous titles is a popular way to foster interest in the franchise. Especially since Capcom counts for record sales this fiscal year.
Silent Hill / Horror by Hideo Kojima
The darkest (in all possible senses) horse of our list. Insiders with enviable persistence assure network users that the announcement of a restart of Silent Hill will take place very soon. Quite usual behavior for them, if not for one thing – Konami denies everything with the same stubbornness.
At one time, there were even rumors that the development of the new Silent Hill would be done by Hideo Kojima. The game designer refuted them, but the situation did not become clearer from this. In addition, he has long been credited with working on another horror. Be that as it may, and no matter who creates the Silent Hill restart, we really hope for them. This year we definitely need a game that can become worse than what is happening in the world.
Next Generation Interactive Cinema
PC boyars enviously call these games “kints”, but we proudly call them interactive … well, in general, yes, the movie. The best Hollywood films will envy the plots, heroes and staging of such titles, and their variability will forever remain inaccessible to filmmakers.
For the PlayStation 4, games like Until Dawn and Detroit: Become Human were some of the top selling systems. In addition, due to their chamber quality and a small amount of gameplay, they were distinguished by very beautiful graphics. It would be interesting to see what their developers with PlayStation 5 capabilities can achieve.
