The next PlayStation Showcase broadcast could be happening in May 2024 with news about Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake, according to one reputable insider. If the rumor is true, PlayStation fans can expect more details about upcoming PS5 titles at the Showcase as well.

The January 31 State of Play featured the latest trailer for Silent Hill 2, giving players a first look into the remake's combat system. This reveal was controversial for fans of the original Silent Hill 2, since the combat suggested that the remake would be more action-oriented with less emphasis on the narrative. Moreover, leaked GameStop materials indicated that the remake will release in late 2024. Official information about Silent Hill 2's release, along with new gameplay footage, could be presented at the rumored Showcase event.

Sony Patent May Support Recent Rumors of a New PlayStation Handheld

A newly published patent from Sony appears to support recent rumors and speculation of a new PlayStation handheld system in development.

According to Jeff Grubb on the latest episode of the Giant Bombcast, the next PlayStation Showcase or State of Play event will happen sometime in May 2024. Grubb did not elaborate on a possible date for the broadcast, but he noted that news about Silent Hill 2 will "probably" be there. A release window for the remake could be announced, since a recent ESRB rating for Silent Hill 2 suggests a release date/window announcement could be happening soon. What's more, Grubb believes Silent Hill 2 is still on track for release before the end of 2024 for both PS5 and PC.

Jeff Grubb Claims PlayStation Showcase or State of Play Event Happening in May 2024

On Twitter, Grubb provided some additional clarification, claiming that the potential PlayStation Showcase or State of Play will not be focused solely on Silent Hill 2. This means that PlayStation fans can expect news and trailers for upcoming PS5 games releasing in 2024 if the rumor turns out to be true. Grubb also notes that he's leaning toward a PlayStation Showcase being the event to happen in May, which is typically an hour long or more. The previous PlayStation Showcase was held back on May 24, 2023, and lasted roughly an hour and 12 minutes.

Although the gameplay reveal was not well received by many Silent Hill fans, development of Silent Hill 2 is progressing steadily toward completion. Since the game is in the final stages of development, news about Silent Hill 2 is still likely to arrive within the next few months. Summer Game Fest 2024 could feature more news about Silent Hill 2 and other upcoming game releases as well.
