Sony has confirmed the PlayStation 5 is a no-show at the E3 2020, so the best guess on when the PS5 will be officially introduced is between February and the months before June. This uncertainty or possible delay was supposedly caused by the decision made by the Japanese company to rework or replan the next-generation console.
The adjustment was first sounded off by Dusk Golem, who claimed Sony felt the need to do some replanning before making the gaming toy public.
According to WCCFTech, Golem is considered a credible source of information on anything about PlayStation so his social media posts on the subjects do carry significant weight.
Initially, the tipster said there were bits of reworks applied on the upcoming Sony hardware, but he later clarified that replan is the better term to use. It should clarify the misreading that resulted to the original information that was first shared.
"To clarify what I mean about the PS5 being 'reworked.' The more accurate thing is it was replanned a bit. This is not anything recent, this was actually years ago as far as I know. I don't know enough to give a solid answer on," Golem was reported as saying on his tweet.
Golem further claimed that after the PS5 replanning was implemented, game developers were compelled to make adjustments as well. He suggested that, for instance, there were games made for the Sony console that was scheduled to be announced, but these revelations were moved to a later date.
The report said Golem was alluding to third-party games for the PS5 that were supposed to be announced by their makers. One title could be from Capcom, likely to be a new Dino Crisis game, but it seems obvious the reveal will now have to wait.
It could be that game titles for the PS5 will only be known depending on when Sony is really planning to pull the wraps off the gaming device. Likely, this will happen in sync with the console's official intro date or after its announcement.
Now per BGR, the timing of the PS5's actual outing remains up in the air. The latest clue on this was the registration of the trademark in Switzerland. It fired up speculations that the reveal could be imminent, but the truth is nothing seems certain at the moment.
It will be Sony's call in the end. The company can just use the PS4 launch playbook, which saw the gaming machine getting unpacked in February 2014 before it hit the store shelves in November of the same year.
If such will be the case, then it's safe to wait for a major announcement from Sony next month. After that, the company can just follow through on its earlier commitment that the PlayStation 5 will be released in time for the holiday season of 2020.
