Rumours of a PlayStation 5 reveal event happening in early 2020 have been rampant for months. Much like it did with the PS4, Sony is expected to unveil its next console in the very near future so that it's got almost a whole year to hype the thing up.
And now God of War and Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe is adding weight to the speculation. Over on Twitter, Jaffe is adamant that the PS5 reveal event is happening in February. In response to someone sharing their thoughts on the upcoming competition between Sony and Microsoft, Jaffe writes: "PS5 reveal is less than 4 weeks away. Sony knows hardcore gamers are hanging on every scrap of info and know that just cause Microsoft dominates the conversation at the moment, that's an easy thing to change when they are ready to reveal (assuming the reveal is good)."
Jaffe continues: "I want to say it's the worst kept secret in games right now. February reveal like they did for PS4."
It's important to note that Jaffe has always had close ties to Sony, despite having left the company to start his own studio in 2007 (which still developed games exclusives for PlayStation platforms). Jaffe's most recent PlayStation outing was Drawn to Death, which released for PS4 back in 2017. As such, it's unclear whether Jaffe has inside knowledge or whether he's just incredibly sure of his prediction, but at this point we wouldn't be at all surprised to hear much more about the PS5 next month.
What do you think? Is February the time? Place your bets in the comments section below.

Get Jaffe back. I like that dude. Drawn to Death was a failed experiment but dude has serious talent and a great imagination.
Feburary is a good month. Something tells me March though.... but I won't complain about a feburary reveal.
I think it's in february like ps4
Did you guys see the fit Jaffe threw on twitter after Ben Hanson and the guys at MinnMax said they would like a Twisted Metal game without him? Top notch meltdown xD
@Athrum didn't see that specifically but he has seemed pretty sensitive over the years, surprisingly so. Twisted Metal definitely deserves another lease on life but I'd imagine it would be a F2P/Live service type release.
Well, we’re mid January and there hasn’t been much chatter. Either Sony isn’t talking to third parties or the third parties aren’t leaking.
Has it ever not been February, rumored, leaked, hypothesized or otherwise?
I hope he's right about it being in February,can't wait any longer xD
I wondered what happened to David. I used to love visiting his website back in the day (felt so personable). Then he releases a game, that wasn’t well received, then I don’t run across anything about him after that. I thought it was a wrap for David. Great to hear from him.
@outsider83 I believe he streams on YouTube (and maybe Twitch, not sure). He definitely has a YouTube channel, though.
Maybe they're going to announce what other PS 'exclusives' are coming to PC?
😉
Or really? Hopefully they'll address the PC support side of things. So I can choose if to be interested in the PS5 or not.
@BarefootBowser You should already have your answer on that front since MS has gone 3rd party. Zero point in buying a Series X when everything (for the first 2 years) will be available on the 2013 Xbox and PC, and everything after available on PC and TBA. Sony plays nice with PC sometimes, but I'd say the safe bet is getting PS5 and a capable PC. Exclusives are the only reason to buy a console, and MS has clearly made it known they don't care about that.
