It begins. The summer showcase of games technically doesn’t officially start until Summer Game Fest next week, but Sony decided it wanted to get a jump on things by announcing its next State of Play event on Thursday, May 30th, starting at 6PM ET.

Sony’s showcase is expected to be densely packed, lasting 30 minutes but featuring 14 titles. That’s a game roughly every two minutes or a handful of premium games at several minutes apiece, with a shotgun blast of smaller games. Regardless of how the timing shakes out, we can probably expect some big announcements.

I’m hoping for more news on Kingdom Hearts IV. There’s probably going to be some news about a new Astro Bot game that was rumored to be announced soon. Bungie might show off a new Marathon trailer or share more details about Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion that’s launching next week. And we might get official confirmation regarding when PSVR 2 is getting PC support.

Sony’s not the only presentation slotted for tomorrow. At 7PM ET, conveniently after the State of Play is over, Konami’s putting on a Silent Hill Transmission event that will likely feature new info on Silent Hill F, Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, and the upcoming movie. Brace yourselves, everyone. The summer showcase of games is officially here, and it is gonna be Like This for at least the next month.
