Who else is a little bit tired of hearing the word "soon"? It's the word on everyone's lips at the moment, and now Sony itself has adopted the term. As part of the company's latest corporate strategy meeting, it said: "We plan to introduce a compelling line-up for PS5 soon."
How soon this may be is the question up for debate. The rumour mill is pointing towards a digital PlayStation event in early June, although the exact date is said to have shifted slightly in the past 24 hours. That claim comes from VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb, who says that a few third-party publishers have opted to announce their line-up on their own terms. This shouldn't affect any first-party reveals at least.
If Sony really does have plans to announce its line-up of games within the first week or so of June, we shouldn't be too far away from official confirmation. The likes of a Demon's Souls Remake and Horizon Zero Dawn 2 are top contenders for the rumoured event. We recommend keeping your eyes glued to Push Square for the latest information as we'll be sure to bring it to you at top speed whenever it breaks.

Without a doubt, a Bloodborne 2 and/or Demon's Souls Remake would be first on my list. New IPs would be next, because while I am certain that Spidey 2, GoW 2, HZD 2, etc., will be great, I know what to expect from them, and so the anticipation is diminished.
The Order 1887.
PS5 platinum #1
I've kinda warmed up to Godfall. I know the last gameplay demo ran on a pc but I'm pretty sure those lighting effects are not too far removed what the PS5 is capable of. edit: KNACK 3 BABY! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
How soon is now?
@hypnotoad soon.
Puppeteer 2 or bust, BABY
Have been predicting there will be no PS5 reveal until after TLOU2 has released, possibly even after Ghosts.
When it comes, Knack 3 or GTFO.
Looks like it’s almost time. I’m just happy to finally see what Bluepoint has been working on and I think it’s going to be the highlight of the show for me. But if HZD 2 is there as well, that might be the showstopper.
Biggest hope for me though is that the Silent Hill rumors were true.
I really hope Ueda's new game is part of the early PS5 launch window. Can't wait to see what he's been working on.
Vib Ribbon 2 or I'm buying an Xbox.
Sequel to The Order 1886 please! One of the most underrated games of the generation.
@johncalmc - Nah, you won't but Vib Ribbon 2 is a great shout!
I want a new Gran Turismo, GOW2, Days Gone 2 and whilst it isn't exclusive I would love a Titanfall 3! Also Astrobot 2, Blood & Truth 2.
Syphon filter playa.word up son
Ah the old announcement of an announcement coming soon.
Just crack on with it, or don't address it until you are ready to.
I just keep hoping out of all the fantastic PS1 remasters we've had that Dino Crisis might one day come back from extinction.
Imagine that on the PS5! Done in the way of RE2/3!
Alas, we'll probably just get 'Street Fighter 4 Super, Ultra, Turbo, Duper, Graphically Enhanced, 4.9, Edition'
Because, CapCom.
I also wish they could strike a deal for a Metal Gear Solid remake. Just let Kojima do it, Konami, bygones and all that.
I heard June 6th might be DDay.
Edit
Honestly the real news is they seem confident its a compelling line up.
We all know its 'soon', even insiders know that soooo. I bet even Tidux knows it.
I'd love it if they pulled a new Playstation All-Stars out of the bag, with characters from all four previous generations for a celebratory rumble. Knack would beat everyone, obviously.
@Mostik already been revealed there is no Titanfall currently in development.
I think they have to drop some serious info in June. The UE5 reveal went down well, but after a while saying nothing is going to cause damage.
I reckon they'll do a few minutes on a couple of launch games, maybe Demon's Souls and Godfall, and a sizzle reel of in-development titles. Just a split second reveal of GoW2 and Horizon 2 would cause a meltdown.
Wouldn't bet against a non-VR Astro Bot.
How about a brand-new Wipeout?
@Grimwood Fair point, but I like each of those at least twice as much as any of the others I mentioned, so I'm particularly amped to see them.
@NotSmartEnough I can't see them doing a non-VR astro bot. That thing was pretty much universally loved and would lose so much of its charm and appeal if it went pancake.
I can see him appearing in PSASBR2 maybe...
I do think Ready at Dawn Studios might be showing their upcoming PS5 exclusive game, the question is will be a sequel of The Order: 1886 or a brand new IP, personally either a sequel or a new IP will do.
@MarcG420 It is a shame as the second game was one of the best FPS (single player) campaigns of this generation, suppose with the success of Apex and Fallen Order they have no real need to develop a 3rd
@playstation1995 Good call, Syphon Filter and/or Splinter Cell would be awesome!
@Mostik. And a sly cooper 5.and resistance 4.i would like a parasite eve.and rogue galaxy 2 by level 5.word up son
Expected this in February so... Keep us waiting, Sony!
"Soon" as a word literally lost most of its meaning thanks to gaming alone. I'm not saying "PlayStation", either. Nintendo, Xbox, PC. "Soon" as we know it in the dictionary does not exist.
Case in point:
Meh, wake me up when they actually announce something. At this point, a lot of my excitement for next gen has vanished because there hasn't been anything to really justify excitement. Xbox has been rather underwhelming so far and Sony only offers up vague teases.
@playstation1995 Mate how could I have forgotten Resistance, I think fall of man was the first game I played on my PS3. The second game was probably my favourite but I also enjoyed the Vita game as there weren't many FPS out at the time for it (still isn't and wont be!). Word up buddy
Will be interesting to see the framerate of a Bloodborne 2. The first one has an atrocious framerate.
Realistically, I'm predicting a launch line-up of: Godfall, that Bluepoint game, the Guerrilla multiplayer game we heard rumors about a long time ago, maybe a new Astro Bot, and some new IP that will more than likely be forgotten in a few years.
@nookie_egg
Astro Bot was fantastic, and wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without VR. I can just see them trying to leverage the IP outside VR, maybe a compendium like Playroom?
Colony Wars and G-Police remakes, with support for PSVR and PSVR2.
Never going to happen, but I can dream...
A new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game with retelling of 3 seasons, baby.
SOON TM.
Tbh Xbox hasn't reveal anything yet regarding games...they showed almost nothing and didn't specify if they were launch titles or no
yeah, yeah... its been like the boy crying wolf . I'm apathetic to any ps5 news until we see something from Sony itself .
This probably means the next State of Play deep dive will be for Knack 3.
@NotSmartEnough It was, I loved it. I'd like to see him elsewhere, but I'm kind of hoping they double down on his VR exploits, I think it's a piece of software that can potentially help in selling the system.
But yes, I would definitely like to see him make an appearance elsewhere.
If they deliver on this then it's going to be an excellent start to the next generation.
@Octane I'm with you. Anticipating a new Ueda game in the not too distant future. There appear to be hints pointing towards it. Not PS exclusive but I don't care so long as I get to play it!
@YepYepYep I think he's been teasing it since 2018. So I wouldn't rule out a 2021 release.
@Octane Artwork with 2020 on the bottom of it might hint at a launch title but that's probably just because I want it to be true!
I'm loving all the Order 1887 hype. I thought I was on an island for appreciation for the game but I'm glad to see I'm not. I would love to hear about a new Resistance or MediEvil. I know the last two are long shots but I have a feeling 1887 is happening
A new Earthworm Jim game, I can feel it.
@YepYepYep I didn't know about that one! But it seems to be nothing more than one of those new year artwork many Japanese companies do. The teaser from two years ago had 2018 written on it, and was released around new year as well.
@shonenjump86 That’s already been announced as an Intellivision Amico exclusive.
No Knack 3, no buy.
Probably about time for a new Twisted Metal. Remake and sequel for Demons Souls. Glimpse of Wipeout. Probably a snowboarding game. Something from Criterion. Lots of 1st party sequels for sure, I reckon some ips that missed the last generation. Motorstorm perhaps. Silent Hill... All-Stars Battle Royale...
@doctommaso oh that’s right, I heard about that. Completely forgot.
@Octane it won't be. epic games partnered with gen design and will be publishing its next game. we don't know if it will remain a pc exclusive or not, but even if it does hit ps5, it would likely be very far off into the future (after pc exclusivity ends).
