Now that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, have each had their turn showcasing their upcoming slate of games, some can't feel like PlayStation lost this round. But, as if to take advantage of the collective disappointment of the Sony fanbase, the social media grapevine is abuzz with whispers that the company is planning a second such event later this year - a first for the PlayStation brand.

The rumor is from the insider, DarkClong, on Twitter, who claims that an "A9VG source" has confirmed a second PlayStation Showcase is coming this year.

The same source claims part of this showcase includes information about a game that's set during the Ming Dynasty from the China Hero Project.

Inaugurated in 2016, this ambitious initiative by Sony has been dedicated to fostering talent in aspiring Chinese developers, providing them with the resources they need to launch their creative endeavors on a global scale. The project has already proudly seen over seventeen titles unfurl under its banner, and the possible inclusion of a Ming Dynasty-themed game in the upcoming showcase only ramps up anticipation.

Naturally, gamers worldwide are eagerly waiting for Sony's official word on the rumored showcase, but there's proof that Sony isn't about to break its usual cycle.
