The Consumer Electronics Show has started. PlayStation was present at Sony’s virtual conference. And when there wasn’t a shocking announcement, we could see some launch windows.

It was Jim Ryan alone against a black background that brought back the PlayStation moment of CES 2021. The president of Sony’s video game division took a few minutes to talk about the brand’s success. Once again he pounded home that the PS5 launch was the best console ever without giving any numbers. He recalled the creation of the PlayStation Studios label and the quality of the PS5 launch games, as well as the arrival of a movie in theaters Uncharted and an adaptation of The last of us in serial television on HBO. Nothing crazy? There was still some information.
Athia is better than two
Ryan’s speech ends, a trailer closes the PlayStation bracket. A number of published projects in development and hardware, at the end of which a final panel confirmed or revealed new information about the planned release dates for several games.
Interesting to see that Pragmata, which was originally scheduled for 2022, will now arrive for 2023 and that Square Enix’s Athia project will show up in a year from now. We will also note the lack of Gran Turismo 7, but this is repeatedly highlighted. Hoping it was just an oversight and not a significant delay. I know some who would be very sad. And what about Ragnark, god of war? Allow me a grin.
