Today XSEED Games reached out with a press release to announce some executive role changes at the top of the mostly Japan-focused publisher.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.
Last year it was a weeks notice.

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.
Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.
Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.
But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...
Here is a look at the new Joker Trailer. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus trailer revealing the first look at gameplay for The Joker, who will join the roster as a playable character when the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter videogame launches on May 28th.
I love Xseed, to me they're like Working Designs. I'd still love to see Xseed try and work getting some of those games Remastered. Dragon Force Remastered, I'd like to see Virtua On and Radiant Silvergun ported to Sony hardware. Valis Remastered, I could go on and on. Saturn and Sega CD had so many great Working Design games. While Xseed is more a localized publisher, Sony might actually do well to acquire them as a localizing publisher to ensure their stuff stays on PlayStation with the purpose of that as well as acquiring their developers that've been doing all their Remasters for them anyway of Uncharted, ICO, and Shadow of the Colossus, well, as well as Ready at Dawn.
As someone that has started Trails of Cold Steel recently after binging out the Trails in the Sky trilogy, I am grateful for Xseed. Now if they'd get on the Crossbell series, I'd be even more happy. Falcom teased a remaster already, so fingers crossed.
