I think we should stop giving credit and attention to these supposed 'leakers', 'insiders' etc and have a single thread for rumors and speculations and to have there all these rumors and supposed leaks. Including a list in the OP tracking them to see the amount of bullshit and made up stuff made each one that turned out to be fake stuff that never ended becoming real.
Because many of this people some day made an informated guess or copied a leak from somewhere else and got it right, and people give them credit forever when they also thrown a lot of bullshit that never ended becoming real.
It's obvious that one of the upcoming months they may have an event because they already released most of the big exclusives they had announced and now they'll have to move to show or announce:
In addition to this they may also prefer to don't throw a ton of big announcements in a single event to avoid the big ones overshadow the smaller ones, but instead to spread them across the yar to give enough visibility to each one of them.
So you can say "Expect something in August basically" for any month. And like with this case mentioned that was going to be in a month and nothing happens then say it will be in the next one. And bingo, you're someone who says their uncle works at Nintendo but you're a "verified user" that people calls you "leaker" or "insider".

- Show TLOU MP CG trailer announcing its name and and concept, and put some "2023" or "2024" release date
- Show more GoWR gameplay
- Show TLOU1 remake gameplay
- Show Spider-Man gameplay trailer and a release window (like Q1 2023 or Q2 2023 etc) or directly its release date
- Announce more 1st/2nd party games (like Arrowhead's next game or Bungie's next IP)
- Announce more PSVR2 games
- Announce PSVR2 date and price
- Show new trailers of 3rd party exclusives we haven't seen for a while like Project Awakening or Granblue Fantasy Relink
- Put some trailers of top tier H2 2022/Q1 2023 3rd party multis with marketing deal (Howgarts Legacy, Avatar, NBA 2K, Suicide Squad, Street Fighter 6...)
- More company acquisitions

Yes. I mean, no need to have insider info about any event or from Sony. Almost every month they typically have some internal event like SoP, PS Showcase, may show some stuff at E3, Doritos Game Awards, Summer Doritos Fest, Gamescom, TGS, GDC, now EVO (this August) and so on, or simply drop stuff on their PS Blog.

There has been several exclusives announced -and many of them also released- in addition to the ones you mentioned since September 2020 like the TLOU remake, TLOU MP game, the Uncharted Collection, the director's cut of Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima, Valkyrie Elysium, DnF Duel, Sifu, the PC ports of GoW, Uncharted collection and the Spider-Mans, etc

With Horizon I think they're gonna do something like a Spiderman Miles Morales and make it something like an expansion, so it's probably too soon for any info on that yet. Probably late 2023 and an early 2024 release for something like that; the VR game they have coming will act as some intermediate expansion between HFW and a Miles Morales-style expansion for later (at least, I think. It's a pretty good option for them to pursue).
I want a new Tomba and UmJammer. Fingers crossed still don't care how long I have to wait
I think most of these have a realistic chance of happening with a September showcase, except maybe the Factions trailer and date announcement. Seems like Sony is focusing more on announcing games that aren't too far out and I don't know if Factions will be ready for 2023. It probably should be, but I think there was a statement WRT it earlier this year from someone at ND that at least at the time I read it, made it sound like it was further out than thought.
Can't recall what the statement was, but I think it was tied to a concept art piece being released back in June. But, I think it should probably be targeting a H2 2023 release.
I honestly dont think they are gonna do a stand alone expansion unless its for a multiplayer. I think the story dlc will be like Frozen Wilds or Iki Island
Even the original Spider-Man had story DLC
Oh damn, completely forgot about this! That does make a story DLC expansion for Horizon more likely. They might consider both, tho; DLC expansion for the near-term, expansion later down the line but I guess that depends on how they approach Horizon 3 (which, I know HFW sets up strongly for near the end, but I've been avoiding details to not get spoiled).
Theres a lot in the works for horizon so we’ll see…a good guess is story DLC for forbidden west in SOME form, Call of the Mountain, and they have the tv show coming out so who knows what they will release for that.
I still think they are doing a monster hunter type of game for it. I do want to see what the other Guerrilla team are working on though, it would be nice to have a short break from horizon after all this before part 3
At the start of the Jimbo era they reorganized the SIE/PlayStation marketing to combine all of them on a single global marketing & PR team to unify their message and campaigns globally with local divisions to basically localize the campaigns and make the local marketing and PR deals and campaings but following that global vision.
More or less since then almost always announced or promoted brand new games that were maximum a year and a half or almost two years away from being released, with a couple of exceptions and a few games delayed due to covid. In the case of remasters/remakes/ports the window is shorter, they typically announce/promote them a few months before release.
So if they follow this strategy (they will because they are now more successful than ever with this strategy) there may be some rare exception but most the stuff they would show in events during the next few months will be games to be released during 2022 and 2023.
Seems like quite a lot of devs want to take a shot at a Monster Hunter-style game. It would probably make sense for Horizon, imagine if they tried a Pokemon-style spinoff for it tho
. Actually it would be interesting, just to see a Pokemon game with modern high-production visuals 
Yeah that sounds about right, and like you said it maximizes global strategies for public-facing info and getting the most out of a marketing cycle. Some people seem fussed about no gameplay in the recent Ragnarok trailer but then just take a look at the views it got in a single day and basically, they didn't need to include any new gameplay.
Besides I'm sure they have some for an upcoming SOP for the game either between now and September, or at their big Showcase.

Would be like a Pokemon meets Front Mission style of game.... I like the idea
I think a RTS Horizon game would also be cool, if they somehow can manage to build a senseful story around it.
Yes, since the PS5 announcement or so they achieved many record many numbers in YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and I assume that in the PS Blog too.
Regarding the no GoW gameplay at this point, I'm fearing it's because of spoilers. I'm worried they may do an MGS2/TLOU2 awful "surprise" to "subverse the expectation of the players" (to spit them in the face) at the start of the game so this is why don't show the rest of the game, because it would reveal it.
I imagine, at the next PS event we should see LOU Remake and Ragnarok. I think we may also see some teasers of new IP's after Ragnarok ships this year.
Nicely written. I'd feel confident in seeing most of what's on your list. I think personally Spidey would be a late Q3 2023 title at the earliest imo.
That's the most likely reason for sure. TLOU2 leaks were pretty bad, and spawned a lot of fake outrage and toxicity (which, unfortunately, me from two years ago was at least slightly a part of, anyone searching my posts on GAF that far back can see it. A badge of shame I gotta bear for that stupidity
). Understandably, they don't want that happening again and it's best to keep any gameplay that's big on story (which would be most of it) as close to the chest as possible until up to launch.Spoiler culture was already kinda troublesome for creators; now that it's been weaponized by console warriors and online toxicity, it's downright poison for certain types of games.

Dude that would actually be really lit. A more serious, scifi/tribal fantasy-style Pokemon game with SRPG-style battle and exploration system would be quite interesting.
Personally not big into RTS games because it seems like a lot of micromanaging with some of them and the perspective (plus the sheer amount of visual information to keep track of) doesn't fit for me. I've been getting into SRPGs a lot more tho, thanks to Shining Force III, the turn-based nature is also more my cup of tea.
But the idea of a AAA RTS or turn-based SRPG Horizon-based game that can maybe do some big innovations (like the ability to switch to individual members in troop units and go into third-person over-the-shoulder style perspective for direct control) could be really neat.
