I am wanting to see if this involves mild later tonight on the PlayStation Showcase 2023 livestream.

PlayStation Showcases are sometimes a time when third-party builders get to place their video games in entrance of tens of millions of individuals, so I might anticipate some updates and even gameplay from beforehand introduced video games.

With Spider-Man: Throughout The Spider-Verse releasing subsequent month Sony might even tease a tie-in, however that is a stretch.
