For the past four years, Sony Interactive Entertainment has been hosting their own event: PlayStation Experience (PSX). Stated by Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden, PSX is canceled for 2018. It was considered a hard decision by Layden.
The event usually had huge announcements for upcoming PlayStation games. Last year, many fans were disappointed with the lack of surprising announcements. It looks like this year was going to repeat the feeling. It looks like there aren’t any new announcements ready for their exclusives such as The Last of Us: Part II or Death Stranding. The Capcom Cup Tournament is also hosted at PSX. Where it will be hosted remains to be seen.
PlayStation Experience 2017 starts in December 9th and 10th, 2017 in Anaheim, California. The event focuses on PlayStation game developers and upcoming games for the system. Most of the larger spaces will be for first party developers for PlayStation while smaller areas are focused on 3rd party developers and Indie games. They will have spaces directly for PSVR games and PlayStation Vue. Capcom Cup, the Street Fighter V qualifier tournament, will be held during the event as well. There will be a giveaway cards if you try out game demos, free items and goodies from vendors, and you can go to Video Game Awards for $20 more if you purchase a ticket for PlayStation Expo which is nearby the venue. As somebody who worked at PlayStation planning last years event, I’m sure it’ll go well. Unfortunately, it will also not come back to San Francisco. Although the list of developers and games you can play are below, unique announcements for the Press Conference.
Below is a list of developers and the list of all demos at the convention.
