PS5 Games and 'Much More' Will Be Shown 'In the Months Ahead', Says Sony

Now we wait

by Robert Ramsey Tue 7th Jan 2020

It's not exactly a surprise seeing as the console is set for a late 2020 release, but we can expect to hear more about the PlayStation 5 and its games over the coming months, Sony has said. During the company's CES 2020 press conference, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan talked a bit about the PS5, teasing "much more" information "in the months ahead".

And yes, PS5 games will naturally play a big part. "We look forward to revealing more details, including the content that will showcase the platform and the future of gaming," stated Ryan.

So now it's just a question of when. Rumours regarding a big PS5 reveal event in early 2020 have been swirling for ages, but there's no concrete evidence of such a showing just yet. E3 is also coming up in the summer, and it would seem as though Sony isn't planning on avoiding the convention this year as it did in 2019. Or, at least, we've heard nothing about the company not attending.

When do you think PS5 news is coming? What games do you think will be shown? Place your bets in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

@Boxmonkey they rarely talk gaming at this event. Should count ourselves lucky.

I think we'll not get too much detail until after TLOU2 has been released.

i thought E3 was being rebranded as a 'fan and influencer' festival this year?. in which case, sony'd be better off with their own event imo.

February event followed by more at E3. The release of Last of Us 2 wouldnt really matter imo.

E3 seems a bit late in the day.

Historically, the PS4 was announced in February of the year, with it's release in November in the U.S.

It would stand to reason that they will likely follow a similar line. The hype train needs a few months to really rev up to release, especially with the likes of a next gen console.

Leaving it till summer seems like there would not be enough time to get the word out to the wider audiences it is likely going to want to reach.

As some others have suggested here, I think February is a good shout, if not February, then I would imagine sometime in early spring. I am doubtful it will be far beyond that.

It must be next month. Just like the PS4's 'See the Future' show would be cool + The only reason I wanted more info this week or ASAP is because of the normal negative News the other FanBoyz are making up about the PS5 already.
