Sony's press conference will take place on October 27 at 5 PM UK time (9 AM PST).
Although Sony has not confirmed exactly what it will show at Paris Games Week, LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule is expected to show off more its latest project, Dreams, which originally made its debut at E3 2015.
Fans have speculated that Quantic Dream, the studio behind Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, may also show off its new game at the event, as little has been heard of what the studio has been doing recently.
Other potential points of discussion at the event include Project Morpheus, the company's VR headset. On March 9, 2015, PlayStation's president of worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida said pricing for the Project Morpheus headset would be announced at E3. Announcements were not, however, made, so it may be that Sony is planning to talk about Morpheus at Paris Games Week.

More speculation on some of what we might see:
How low can you go?
Alright, this author's been banging on about this one since the beginning of time – but we really do think that a price drop is coming for the PS4. Yes, the system's selling faster than moustache wax at a hipster convention, but Sony would be stupid to let the momentum drop off before giving it another shot in the arm. If you look at the PlayStation 2, it dropped the price right around this point in the generation, and it opened up the device to a much more mainstream audience as a consequence. And with guaranteed money spinners such asPlayStation Plus now on its side, it's not like it's going to feel the hit on the hardware. Plus, if you factor in the timing of Paris Games Week – which is right before the holiday shopping season starts in earnest – and the fact that the potentially expensive Project Morpheus is right around the corner, it makes too much sense.
A very Quantic Dream
Pub quiz time: which studio with an extremely close relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment is based in Paris? Easy-peasy, it's Quantic Dream. We've known ever since the release of Beyond: Two Souls that the developer is working on a PS4 game – in fact, Ellen Page's bonkers escapade was built upon a basic version of its new-gen engine – so it seems roughly the right time for us to learn more about what it's up to.
Born to be WiLD
Want to know another coincidence? Wild Sheep Studio, the indie team formed by Rayman maker Michel Ancel, is also based in France. It's been over a year since we last heard anything about WiLD, the PS4 exclusive that puts you in control of various animals. We know that the title – which won our best of show award at Gamescom 2014 – is still in development, because the developer's hiring on its website. Moreover, recent rumours suggested that the team behind Beyond Good & Evil 2 had moved on from Ubisoft to other things, which we very much suspect to be this. We doubt that it'll be out anytime soon, but Sony's not in the habit of burying promising projects, so we have to imagine that it will be at Paris Games Week.
