Though the release of the PS5 may be quickly approaching Sony are confident that the anticipated big titles will still arrive on the PS4.
The PS4 was released in 2013 meaning that currently, the eighth-generation console is approaching its sixth birthday and potentially the end of its life cycle.
It’s highly anticipated that the PS5 will begin to appear on shelves around late 2020, if not sooner. And this has left some gamers concerned about the status of some upcoming games, more specifically which platform they’ll be available on.
However, a leak direct from a recent Sony corporate meeting revealed that the console manufacturer has already taken steps to ensure that that the PS4 will continue to play a pivotal role even after the release of the PS5.
One of the notes from the meeting stated that the system ‘will remain the engine of engagement and profitability for the next three years.’ The note continues to say that an ‘outstanding roster exclusive AAA games still to come.’
Presumably, these exclusive AAA games are the upcoming titles The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding.
This is likely to mean that we could be seeing the release of these games within the next three years, if not sooner.
More recently Naughty Dog has been more active on social media, with several tweets and social postings that might suggest the game is finally complete.
There is however still no release date but this could all change soon as it’s been announced by the co-director of the game Anthony Newman, that the studio is looking to ‘close out’ work on the game, providing the clearest hint yet that it’s near the end of its development cycle.
In April of this year a photo posted on Twitter by Neil Druckmann (The Vice President of Naughty Dog) showed Troy Baker who voices Joel, and Ashley Johnson who voices Ellie in motion capture gear with the caption, ‘And that’s a wrap on Ellie, Joel, and the most ambitious cinematic shoot we’ve ever done. Tears were shed... #TheLastOfUsPartII.’
Unfortunately, whilst the tweets would suggest that Naughty Dog might finally reveal a release date soon, Anthony Newman has also stated that a 2019 release date isn’t guaranteed.
Although, you just know that's what most fans will be hoping for.
