The PlayStation 5 will only be unveiled at the event scheduled for July 7. Delays caused by the pandemic of Coronavirus
Sony has organized for Thursday, June 11 at 22:00 Italian time an event on the PlayStation 5. It is an appointment that the Japanese company had planned for Thursday, June 4, but that in the end has postponed because of the violent clashes that are animating the United States for the death of George Floyd. Clashes that have also led other companies in the industry to make similar decisions: Epic Games has postponed Season 3 Chapter 2 of Fornite to June 17, while Activision has postponed Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone to a date to be determined.
Sony’s event is highly anticipated: fans hope to finally see the design of the PS5. The competition (read Microsoft) has long since unveiled the Xbox Series X, while the PlayStation 5 is long overdue. For the moment we only know how the controller is made and most of the data sheet (but some features are still hidden). Many think that in the event of June 11 Sony will remove the veil to the PS5, but it will not be so. According to the latest rumors, the online event tomorrow will serve only to present the new games for the next-gen console, while to see the PlayStation 5 will have to wait for another event organized ad hoc which should be held on July 7, 2020.
PlayStation 5, for the official presentation will have to wait
On Twitter is called Iron Man and in recent months has been the protagonist of several advances on the world of Sony and video games. For this reason it is considered a fairly credible source in the industry. The latest news concerns the June 11 event organized by Sony for the PS5. As many feared, the design of the console will not be unveiled, but only the video games available at the release.
Sony’s communication strategy is very precise: to raise the anticipation as much as possible and surprise the public with a console never seen before. From the rumors of the last few weeks, the PS5 will be very different from the Xbox Series X (which seems to all intents and purposes a computer) and will be more console-like.
When will the PS5 be presented
According to Iron Man, the Japanese company is already preparing another date, this time for July 7. On that day we should finally discover the design of the PlayStation 5. On the other hand Sony had anticipated: from June until the day in which the console will not be launched, there will be an event every month to present all the news of the console.
How much will the PS5 cost
In one of the appointments scheduled in the coming months will also be unveiled the price of the console, although by now there seems to be no great doubt that it will cost less than $ 499. In Europe it should be launched at just over 500 euros: the coronavirus and the decision to focus on top-of-the-line components has inevitably raised production costs and the final price.
