Through the pages of the German portal Games Wirtschaft, a spokesperson for Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed that this year too PlayStation will not be at Gamescom 2024the major gaming event in Cologne scheduled for the second half of August.
This should be surprising to some extent. Moreover, Sony’s gaming division did not take part in the German event also in 2022 and 2023 and in general it has distanced itself from the big summer events for years to focus on separate presentations in the form of State of Play and PlayStation Showcase.
Nintendo will also skip the 2024 edition
Consequently, the absence of PlayStation at Gamescom 2024 does not necessarily mean that Sony does not have another showcase planned in the coming months or in any case by the end of the year with further surprises and updates from the company. In this regard, a few days ago there were rumors of a possible PlayStation Showcase at the end of September focused on Bungie and more specifically on Marathon and the future of Destiny after The Ultimate Forma.
Besides SIE, Nintendo has also confirmed that it will not take part in the Cologne fair. After all, the Japanese company just yesterday demonstrated that Nintendo Switch has a lot to say thanks to a Nintendo Direct full of surprises and very important announcements. Instead, no news has arrived from Microsoft, however the American company has taken part in all the previous editions of Gamescom and therefore it is likely that it will also participate in this year’s.
We remind you that Gamescom 2024 will take place between August 21st and 25thpreceded by Opening Night Live hosted by Geoff Keighley on August 20, where you can expect all kinds of announcements from publishers around the world.
