After weeks and months of speculation and waiting, Sony finally confirmed its first big PS5 game event for next week, June 4th. The event is expected to give some information about the new console (but maybe not the PS5 price and release date), as well as show some new games running on the device.

Given the current situation, there is a lot of uncertainty about how studios are approaching their reveals, so this could be THE event for showcasing games or it could be more Sony-focused. Whatever the case may be, there are a few games that many fans expect to be there, and some that they hope will be there. Here are some of the likeliest candidates and a few that would be huge surprises.

10 Call of Duty 2020

The rumors thus far (and they are oftentimes pretty accurate when it comes to COD) are that the next game will be a reboot of the Black Ops sub series set during the Cold War. And usually at this point, Activision has already confirmed what the next Call of Duty is titled and shown off some gameplay. Given the situation, though, it’s possible that the publisher had to rearrange plans and now the PS5 event is the next best option for a Call of Duty 2020 reveal. PlayStation is the new partner for the franchise so it makes sense to see the game get announced next week.

9 Horizon Zero Dawn 2

Most PlayStation fans expect that Sony will have at least one console exclusive available for PS5 on day one. While there are many candidates to fill that role, Horizon Zero Dawn 2 ranks pretty high on the list. Prior leaks from voice actors and even teases from within developer Guerrilla Games have suggested that Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is in the works, and the teases have not stopped since. Considering that Guerrilla helped usher in the age of the PS4 with Killzone: Shadow Fall it only makes sense for them to perform a similar task with the PS5.

8 Outriders

Developer People Can Fly has just begun the promotional tour for its looter shooter Outriders, so it’s conceivable that next week’s PS5 event may be a stop along the way. Game Rant was lucky enough to go hands-on with the game but there still seems to be a lot more to cover. Not to mention a lot of the footage thus far has been from the PC build. Could this be the opportunity to show the game running on a next-gen console?

7 Silent Hill Reboot

While the rumors of a Silent Hill IP acquisition seem truly dead, there is still lift in the claims that a new Silent Hill reboot is in the works. Key figures on the Silent Hill property have been active around Konami and one of the game’s designers even retweeted the PS5 event. It’s obviously not much to go on, but if Silent Hill can jump to Dead by Daylight it shows that Konami still wants to keep the property alive. Whether that means a new game is in the works is up for debate.

6 Bluepoint Remake

Bluepoint has been teasing a project for quite some time and this PS5 event feels like the perfect time to finally lift that shroud of secrecy. In fact, members of the Bluepoint team have even teased that the studio will be a part of Sony’s presentation. The only question is what game Bluepoint is working on – or specifically which game the studio is remaking. Demon’s Souls is the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to rumors, but there have also been a variety of other titles mentioned as well.

Games like Legend of Dragoon, Jak and Daxter, and Legacy of Kain have all also come up when discussing what Bluepoint could be working on, but everything has been rumored. At the very least, next week fans should hopefully find out what exactly the studio has cooking.

5 God of War 2

While no one would expect that Sony Santa Monica is deep enough into God of War 2 (God of War 5) development to be ready for release, the studio could tease the project at the event. Even just a short clip teasing Kratos and Thor’s showdown would be enough to generate hype, but Cory Barlog and Co. could take a different approach and show how the game’s engine looks even better on the PlayStation 5.

4 Elden Ring

It has been nearly a full year since From Software revealed Elden Ring and since then the studio has remained relatively quiet on the game. The collaboration with Game of Thrones author George RR Martin has a lot of excitement behind it both from fantasy fans and Souls diehards. Bandai Namco has not hinted that Elden Ring will appear during the event but it still seems like a possibility. If the game is to release soon (i.e. before next E3), then it could appear at either a Sony or Microsoft event.

3 Godfall

As the first announced PS5 console exclusive, Godfall seems like a safe bet for the Sony event. Developer Counterplay Games has only shown brief snippets of the game, but if it is to be a PS5 launch title larger gameplay demonstrations are likely on the way. Described as a combination between Dark Souls and a looter, Godfall has a lot more that it can show to players, and hopefully, they see more of the game soon.

2 Spider-Man 2

Given the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 a sequel is a given. Fans have even begun to speculate which villains and comic book storylines the next game might follow, and developer Insomniac has even shared some ideas it would like to explore. Like with God of War, it seems more likely that Sony would tease Spider-Man 2 as in development with a look at a villain or a brief scene. Most likely the game is still a ways off, but there will be at least one PS5 Spidey outing for sure.

1 Final Fantasy 16

This is easily the biggest stretch for the PS5 event, but rumors are beginning to brew that a Final Fantasy 16 announcement is coming. While one Square Enix team just launched Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Square's other JRPG teams (like members of the Final Fantasy 15 team) haven not given a strong indication of what they are working on. And if Remake is going to take a long time to complete, the hope is that the mainline Final Fantasy series continues alongside it.

The only question is whether this type of announcement would be saved for a Square event or not. But if Marvel’s Avengers is flying solo for its gameplay reveal, there may not be the usual Square Enix press conference planned.

The Sony PS5 reveal event starts on June 4, 2020 at 1pm PT and is said to last about an hour. At least a few of these games should be there, while others could go either way. Still, as the kickoff to the summer reveal season there will certainly be a lot of eyes watching regardless of what’s shown.
