Paris Games Week: PlayStation Media Showcase Dated

Parisian event incoming 30th October.

By Matt Davidson

Sony has announced the time and date of their official Media Showcase event at Paris Games Week.

Scheduled for the 30th October at 5pm local time (4pm BST/12pm ET/9am PT/31st October 1 am AEST), not much is currently known about the event, but Sony has a history of treating Parisian gamers to big announcements.

2015's conference featured the reveal of both Gran Turismo Sport and Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human, as well as providing a release window for No Man's Sky and a bevy of other information about upcoming games. Last year featured no conference appearance from PlayStation but they did feature 40 playable demos over 300 booths, in addition to using the event for the finals of the PlayStation Plus League eSports tournaments.

As has become expected in recent years, Paris Games Week essentially replaces any major Sony appearance at Gamescom.

Following the PlayStation Showcase, Paris Games Week proper runs from 1st-5th November at the Porte de Versailles.
