Third-Party Publishers Will Make an Appearance
As it usually does every year, November will see the release of several major third-party titles on PlayStation 4. Publishers like Activision and EA will undoubtedly showcase trailers for Call of Duty: World War II and Star Wars Battlefront II respectively, perhaps highlighting what the major benefits of owning a PlayStation 4 copy of each title nets for players. There may be more Destiny 2 announcements in store for the event, seeing as how player numbers are dwindling now post-launch.
As far as first-party content is concerned, Sony may be willing to withhold anything until the company hosts its annual PlayStation Experience in December. Still, its likely that a trailer or some gameplay footage of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s DLC expansion, The Frozen Wilds, will be showcased in time for its November 7 release. Exclusives not made by Sony-owned entities like .hack//G.U. Last Recode, Demon Gaze II, and Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV may be highlighted in a sizzle real or two.
After an E3 presentation that was received with lukewarm acclaim and a subdued presence at Tokyo Game Show, Paris Games Week provides the perfect opportunity for Sony to regain its momentum just in time for what looks like a stellar lineup of releases like God of War, Detroit: Become Human, and Spider-Man in 2018. Fans will have to keep their fingers crossed for now in hopes that the company will stay true to its word and deliver on all the hype.
