The event was full of cinematics and virtual reality titles for the PlayStation VR2, punctuated by interesting games like Alan Wake 2, Dragon’s Dogma 2 or Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The jewel in the crown was the announcement of the ‘remake’ of Metal Gear Solid 3, a PS2 title that is considered by many to be one of the best games in history, and the trailer for Spider-Man 2, which was unknown nothing beyond his announcement in 2021.
