PlayStation Showcase 2021: What to expect
While Sony may have skipped E3 entirely, it did have a small segment at Gamescom Opening Night Live last month where Horizon Forbidden West was confirmed to have been pushed back to February 18, 2022. As disappointing as that may be for some fans, there’s a good chance it’ll still make an appearance since it marks the return of a big franchise for Sony.
The event also comes just days before the launch of Deathloop, with Arkane’s game remaining a PS5 console exclusive despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, so we could get another quick look.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits will also launch on September 21, so expect that to make an appearance too, but PlayStation VR’s successor won’t be.
As per Sony: “One thing to note: PlayStation’s next generation of VR won’t make an appearance this time.”
Further ahead, 2022 looks exciting for PlayStation fans. Alongside Forbidden West, PS5 owners can expect to play Ghostwire Tokyo, Elden Ring, and the new Saints Row.
