Potential Sony E3 2018 Leak Sets Rumors Flying

As we draw ever closer to E3, we’re starting to see more and more rumors and potential leaks floating around the internet. The latest piece to set the whispers off is a supposed picture of the games to be showcased by Sony at their PlayStation Press Conference, posted to Reddit yesterday.

The items listed on the image include a gameplay trailer from upcoming The Last Of Us 2, a gameplay trailer for Devil May Cry 5, gameplay from the highly anticipated Shenmue 3, an appearance by Hideo Kojima as he plays content from Death Stranding, launch trailers for a bevy of games including Kingdom Hearts 3, Spyro Reignited, a supposed Splinter Cell game, and Final Fantasy 7.

This particular piece of “evidence” should absolutely be taken with a grain of salt, as several of the titles on the list are reported to be either not in development, or not at a stage where this kind of showcase would be necessary. The commenters on the Reddit thread are also wary of the “leak”, with user RayCharlizard stating “Pro tip, Sony doesn't print out layouts for their press conferences like it's a setlist for a concert. And they certainly don't print them two weeks before E3.” And user eh-lmao stating “Somehow the fakest part is putting Shenmue and Yakuza gamellay back to back. Thats just bad pacing.”

Whether this list is accurate or not (probably not), the fact remains that with E3 just around the corner, we’re going to see a whole lot more of supposed leaks and rumors about what will be shown. It’s important to always keep your head on straight when it comes to checking out these posts, no matter how enticing they may seem (please let the Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater remake trailer be true though, please).
