Sony continues to drop the information on its new PlayStation 5 console, whose launch is expected by the end of the year, without knowing for what date or at what price.
After playing the trailers for around 25 games designed especially for the new console, the Japanese giant showed for the first time the PS5, all in white and black curves.
Players will also be able to invest in headphones with 3D audio or in a camera that allows them to film themselves while playing (to broadcast live on the appropriate platforms).
“Grand Theft Auto 5”
The marketing event was broadcast live online Thursday due to a pandemic. It had been postponed for a week so as not to distract public attention from the anti-racism protests in full swing in the United States.
PlayStation opened its presentation on the highly anticipated “Grand Theft Auto 5”, due out in the second half of 2021. The franchise has sold 130 million copies so far. The new console will also make it possible to reconnect with the Gran Turismo franchise, in its 7th edition, as well as Horizon (“Horizon II, Forbidden West”).
For superhero fans, “Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales” must go out during the holiday season.
Between the end of 2020 and 2021, players will be spoiled for choice, whether they want to save the world, win car races or exterminate monsters.
A highly anticipated release
PlayStation promised shooting games (“Deathloop”), sports simulation (“NBA 2K21”), science fiction adventures, with heroes more real than life, often female, or completely fanciful, especially in games for children, not to mention cats (“Stray”).
The release of new consoles from Sony and Microsoft is eagerly awaited by fans, the previous generation dating from 2013 (PS4 and XBox One).
In early May, Microsoft also lifted the veil on new video games for the future Xbox Series X, with new versions of Assasin’s Creed, from French Ubisoft, and Madden, the American football simulation game series from Electronic. Arts.
Nintendo, for its part, sold its Switch like hotcakes in favor of the “Large containment”.
In the United States, the video game market broke new records in April, for all brands.
