We're less than a month away from The Game Awards 2018, and naturally, rumours of potential announcements are starting to fly around. The latest word on the street is that Sony is readying a trio of release dates for three of its own PS4 exclusives -- Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, and Dreams.
This comes from a Brazilian website, Combo Infinito, which claims to have received an email from Sony Brazil, plainly stating the above information. Via Google Translate, here's the supposed email from Sony:
Update: Release windows for Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima will be revealed during this year's edition of The Game Awards next month. Official release date of Dreams will also be announced.
Combo Infinito also speculates that this means we'll be seeing new footage from the three enigmatic titles. It's not impossible that Sony will show up at The Game Awards with something new, but to throw out several release dates for some of its biggest games at a third party event doesn't sound right to us. Granted, last year's event debuted a new trailer for Death Stranding, but we'd expect Sony to reveal dates for these games itself, not via something like Geoff Keighley's glitzy awards show. Take this one with a barrel of salt.
Will Sony be making announcements at The Game Awards 2018? Will we see more from the likes of Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima, or is this rumour a load of rubbish? Sound off in the comments below.

no The Last of Us part 2 for release date sobbing sniff sniff
I really wanna believe this, cause im excited for death stranding, but...
I don't believe it.
Don't be so quick to dismiss, kids, we've seen that Sony has been doing things 'differently' as of late. I'll take a firm stance of 'I'll believe it when I see it.'
I was surprised that Sony announced a date for Days Gone (which subsequently changed) at E3 as they had been keeping the reveal of the dates pretty close to the release - a few months. I can't see them announcing dates that far advance after having delayed Days Gone and all the other games that have had delays.
I would prefer Sony to announce release dates a few months before a game releases rather than 6+ months and then end up having to delay it.
Its possible that Dreams and even Ghost of Tsushima could get a release date - Dreams has seemed to been in development for years and its coming up to 4yrs now since Infamous so maybe they are close to the finish line. Death Stranding though seemed a lot less 'ready' to release - although some of that could be because the world seemed very empty and we just got the character walking in it - which could be to avoid spoilers. As such it seemed more like a test demo to see if their character and animation was working - not falling through the world, not getting stuck on things and moving the way they hoped - still a long way from being a 'game' so I would be more surprised if that was giving a release date.
Push Square doesn't believe it but we all know what happened the last time they said that
Why couldn't it be TLOU 2 smh
@get2sammyb Like we didn't believe that Sony won't be at E3 these are strange times we live in nothing is impossible now.
@AdamNovice @Hapuc Touche!
@get2sammyb Sony need reveal release date for The Last of Us part 2.. it is biggest anticipated game for everyone who loved first one
@RDR2October26 I'm sure they'll tell us when they're ready.
@CK97 yes i am dying to know release date for TLOU 2. hopefully it come out in 2019 instead 2020
You now what, after the whole ff7 remake/last guardian/shenmue 3 and now sony not attending e3 2019 rumor is actually true, I can believe maybe this rumor is true..
@get2sammyb yeah i am worrying about it push to 2020. yeah it is most wanted game
Why wouldn't anyone believe it. Apart from Ghost of Tsushima, the other 2 games have been in production way to long and are 2019 releases anyway.
@RDR2October26 I doubt it'll be out next year to be honest. Not impossible, but I'd be surprised.
@get2sammyb yeah Neil Druckman said it is 50-60 percent done in December 2017 so right now : 80-90 percent done ? it will be completed 100 percent during summer then they polishing it for few months but maybe it release in October 2019 ? Good games alway come out in October every year
Death Stranding? Yes, reveal date.
Dreams Beta date announced. No official release date.
GoT- no way.
I genuinely believe that both Ghost and TLOU2 are launch cross-gen titles.
:But probably not'
Is pushsquare a bit like pachter when they give their opinions its safe to assume its the opposite?
Edit:
Also its says release windows not release date
Lol, I just got pissed. I somehow read the title but skipped the word rumor and then saw it afterwards.
I want a date for The Last of Us 2.
ghost of tshushima cant wait for that game.release the beast.word up son
I can't see that happening with Death Stranding Kojima will take years to make that game(which is fine by me because he is a GOD and all his past games have been worth the wait) The other 2 games maybe but I can't see it really. Dreams should be out next year I guess tho.
Individually anyone of them would’ve been believable but I don’t think Sony has ever announce the release date of multiple games at one event. Except maybe the launch titles for new console.
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but I'm Brazilian and after reading the original statement, I believe the correct translation should be that "Release windows (...) may be revealed..."
@RDR2October26
They should release it the same day as the E3 Xbox conference. I wonder if people would still go 'but but E3?'. Haha
I ve always thought TLOU II would be last to release though 2020 just before PS5 launch.
Considering Geoff spends half the night trying to get into Kojima's pants I wouldn't be surprised to get a Death Stranding release window during the show. And that window will be "2019".
Ghosts could also get a "late 2019" window.
Dreams "beta" will go live during the show, hence getting a release window for the beta. I mean it's been 3 years, shouldn't take any company longer than 3 years to make a beta. You can thank me later @Octane
Sony canceled PSX, they are taking over TGA.
Shawn Layden did name drop Dreams as the definite 2019 games alongside Days Gone and Concrete Genie. I think we'll get a beta launch date I'm sure. The latest on Death Stranding is that the game is in the polishing phase but that could be anything from 6 to 12 months from release. And has for GoT well we've only had two trailers for it so far so that might be further away.
2019 could be another good year for PS4 then? Still waiting on Concrete Genie myself
@Kidfried yes, you're absolutely right!! That's what I got from the "official" statement anyway
Sony have been really unpredictable lately with PlayStation so anything is possible these days
I wouldnt be surprised if dreams got a release date with an o btw the beta is live now. There has been so much coverage recently it cant be far out!
Why would Sony Brazil send this info to one outlet only?
Also the article says "poderão ser reveladas" which means "may be revealed".
i would be suprised if death stranding gets a release window instead of the TLOU 2.
but then again i also find it strange that all 3 games would get a release date except TLOU.
I will be disappointed if Ghost of Tsushima gets a release window rather than a date. If it will be a release window, then that means that will be a post summer 2019 at the earliest. I hope this isnt the case. I would like it to come out May/June
Yeah, I don't see that happening.
I mean, they are are skipping e3 next year. Might makes sense to put out some release dates and windows to calm everybody down
Doubt it, but it would be nice to see a release date for Dreams.
I'm sorry for the long tangent in advance.
I'd be surprised if Sony announced the release date for Death Stranding. I think that's probably a 2020 game. Saying that, we're talking about Sony and Kojima here so nothing should surprise me really. As mentioned in a comment above, a release window is more likely than a specific date. And Dreams is long overdue so why not.
On a separate slightly related note- Of the currently announced PS4 exclusives left to come out... Dreams, Days Gone, Concrete genie, MLB The Show, Shenmue 3, Last of Us 2, Ghosts of Tshushima and Death Stranding. I'd be happy if one or two of these are due 2020 as that's a lot of PS4 exclusives for 2019. Not to mention the usual multi platform and VR games.
Also, with recent releases of huge games Like Assassin's Creed Oddessy and RDR2 clocking in at 60+ hours. Not to mention all the season passes and online games etc. It's hard enough to keep up. It's great.
Not quite sure how I ended up here but I think my point is. It's an amazing time to be a gamer. If no more PS4 exclusives were announced (and I'm sure they will), the PS4 will still be getting a brilliant send-off over the next couple of years.
And I've heard Mark Cerny is taking home the Best eSports Coach Award!
@rjejr Fine by me lol. Should make the show more enjoyable to watch.
Hope this is not true. A release for Dreams is fine, but I’m hoping the others are PS5 launch titles.
@PS_Nation Hi, do you think The Last of Us 2 release in 2019 likely October ?
@RDR2October26 Most likely a PS5 release, same as Death Stranding.
I definitely expect new trailers for all three games, but only one of them will have a legit release date, the others will have vague release window updates.
good strategy for sony the game awards has millions of viewers
@RDR2October26 Well, I’m not the best source, lol, but I wouldn’t bet on this release date.
@starhops Neil Druckmann said it gonna be PS4 and will be cross gen later after PS5 coming out
I'm not sure about Ghost of Tsushima and Dreams, but I'm quite sure Death Stranding will get a release date. If you follow the "Analysing" community you already know why, and if not... I guess just wait and we'll see.
That's sounds very odd.
If Anything Last Of Us 2 should be the highlight & reveal the Release date.
Ghost Of Tushima was only revealed at the very end of 2017, for that to get a release date & not Last Of Us 2 is baffling.
@Thunderlips69 It really isn't. Sony specifically mentioned that they waited to reveal Ghost of Tsushima, because they wanted to decrease the time between reveal and release. They have gotten a bit of backlash after revealing some games way too early; we've had three E3's of Spider-Man for example. So it's understandable that they wanted to change that strategy. I think Ghost is coming sooner than people think. Sometime in 2019. That's still one-and-a-half years between reveal and release, but definitely shorter than 2 or 3+ years.
