All Announced at PlayStation Showcase May 2023 | Digital Trends

The barrage of summer game showcases is finally upon us, and Sony was the one to kick things off. After a 20-month wait and several minor presentations, we finally got another PlayStation Showcase where we saw what to expect for first-party, third-party and indie games on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2. During the show, we got a look at some upcoming multiplayer games from PlayStation Studios like Fairgame$ AND Marathon, as well as exciting single-player titles such as Marvel Spider-Man 2.

Third-party studios also showed up, with Square Enix unveiling a multiplayer game called Foamstars, Alan Wake 2AND Mirage from Assassin’s Creedgetting release dates and Konami announcing a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This was definitely the biggest PlayStation live stream in a long time, but it was a dense show, so you might have missed some of its announcements. That’s why you should read this roundup of everything announced during the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase.

Haven Studios presents Fairgame$

Haven Studios, a PlayStation-owned developer founded by Ubisoft, EA, and Stadia alumnus Jade Raymond, has unveiled its first game that kicked off the showcase. Is called Fairgame$,and is a PvPvE robbery game where players compete to steal from the rich. It doesn’t have a release window, but Haven Studios has detailed its vision for the title on the PlayStation Blog and confirmed it Fairgame$ it will arrive on both PS5 and PC.

The multiplayer game Foamstars comes from Square Enix

Square Enix showed up during the PlayStation Showcase to reveal a new multiplayer game called Foam starswhich looks like a Splatoon-inspired third-person shooter where players try to spread foam around an arena while battling each other. Deposited foam also affects how players can move around the map during these 4v4 matches. Foam stars is coming to PS4 and PS5.

A Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater the remake is in the works

During the PlayStation Showcase, Konami revealed its plan to revive the Metal gear series with a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which is considered by many to be the best entry in the series. The reveal trailer of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eateris a bit misleading, as it focuses on many animals attacking each other before revealing Snake. Obviously, it doesn’t appear that Hideo Kojima is involved in the project, but Konami promises that the remake will bring unprecedented new graphics, immersive stealth action gameplay and sounds to its gripping story. THE Snake eater remake has no release date, but Metal Gear Solid Master Collection vol. 1 will be released this fall and features ports of the first three Metal Gear Solid Games.

Bungie is relaunching Marathon

Bungie, which was acquired by PlayStation last year, has revealed that it will be reviving its own Marathon series. It’s being rebooted as a sci-fi PvP shooter where players compete for survival, wealth and fame in a world of ever-evolving persistent zones, where every run can lead to greatness, according to the game’s website. It’s in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, and will have full crossplay and cross-save support when it releases.

Project Q and PlayStation wireless headsets revealed

PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan appeared near the end of the showcase to reveal two new technologies Sony is working on. One is called Project Q and is a cloud gaming device from which gamers can stream games. It features an 8-inch screen, Wi-Fi support, and all the buttons and features of the DualSense controllers, and will be out later this year. Sony is also working on PlayStation-themed wireless headsets.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gets an extended gameplay reveal

Marvel Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games has finally made its big return to this PlayStation Showcase with a massive gameplay reveal. The segment about him began with Kraven killing a hunter he deemed unworthy before knowing all the heroes of New York. We then cut to New York City six months later, where Spider-Man battles several enemies while wearing a symbiote suit and acting much angrier than usual. The game then tasks players with switching to Miles Morales, who goes after The Lizard before reuniting with Peter and seeing the symbiote suit for the first time. Both then go after the Lizard, but lose him as they were also dealing with Kraven’s forces. The segment ends with Miles becoming suspicious of Peter’s change in personality. Sadly, no release date was revealed during the show, so Marvel Spider-Man 2 it still only has a vague fall 2023 release window.
