No doubt about it, Sony is having another good E3, but their E3 2017 press conference wasn’t quite the grand slam some recent ones were. Sure, we saw great stuff like God of War, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and Spider-Man, but they didn’t deliver as many of those fan-pleasing “Oh my God!” moments as in the past. If it felt like Sony was holding back a bit, well, that’s because they were.

We know The Last of Us Part II was left behind so the focus would remain on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and developer Sucker Punch are working on something new, likely an InFamous sequel, but other than that?

Now, when might we learn about the mystery games? The most likely time is at Sony’s PlayStation Expenerience event, which they’re building into a bigger deal every year. Last year’s PSX saw the reveal of The Last of Us Part II, so expect something equally big in 2017. Sony has announced PlayStation Experience 2017 will go down on December 9 and 10 in Anaheim.
