The PS5 is having a good year with its third-party games, but exclusives are slow to arrive. However, an insider has something to reassure fans.
After a lively weekend, the Summer Game Fest 2024 period is slowly coming to an end. Playstation had previously opened the ball of conferences. The next big expectations of the Japanese console manufacturer paraded through a new State of Play for a good half hour. During the big evening on June 7th, we also had a few additional previews in which we announced some nice things for the PS5.
For 2024, the new additions to Sony’s consoles are looking nice, but not as strong as fans expect. The hope for a PlayStation Showcase with a focus on first-party games remains, however. Even though the event has yet to be confirmed, the latest rumors regarding the PS5 lineup are rather reassuring…!
The PS5 would be reserved for the most favorable moment
While Xbox is cautiously approaching its direct competitor with regard to its exclusivity policy, PlayStation is forging its next own productions. That is at least what an insider who has already proven himself in the past suggests. Shinobi602, very present in the Resetera forums, had announced the exact release date of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This time it is about the PS5 lineup
He repeatedly assured that PlayStation was preparing big announcements for … 2025 ! He was picked up by another user in the forum and explained his point of view. According to the sources available to him, Sony Interactive Entertainment, the publisher, reserves its ” Great games for the first party
This would explain in particular the relative “weakness” of PlayStation’s latest talk. While very big exclusives have been made official, like Marvel’s Wolverine, or half-heartedly admitted, like The Last of Us Part III, the fact that third-party developed games are released or a PS5 is announced can disappoint fans. Regardless of the quality of a Stellar Blade or the appeal of a Phantom Blade 0, for example. Now it remains to be seen whether Shinobi602’s predictions will come true.
