Sony Interactive Shanghai is hosting the broadcast, and it will only be available to watch through Chinese streaming sites. Daniel Ahmad, also known as ZhugeEx on Twitter, noted that the broadcast will mainly focus on “launch information regarding the PlayStation 5 in mainland China.” There will also be a showcase for PlayStation software sometime during the event.

Additionally, the official China Hero Project Twitter mentioned that some games may appear, which has led to speculation that games backed by the project might show up sometime during the broadcast. The China Hero Project is an initiative backed by Sony Interactive Entertainment to help developers in China create console games. However, as mentioned previously, details remain vague.

In previous PlayStation China showcases, several China Hero Project titles were announced or given release dates. This included titles such as Love that Will Never Reach, and Spiral of Light and Darkness, Corridor of Souls.
