Sony announced their next-gen console, the PS5, and they are up against the already unveiled Xbox Series X, with both consoles arriving in late 2020.

However, it seems like a lifetime ago that we received an update on the next-gen console.

For now, continue reading to check out all the details we have.

PS5 release date and cost

Sony has officially confirmed the PS5 will release "Holiday 2020", which means it'll land some time between October and December next year. 

The PS4 came out in November 15th 2013 (a long time ago, eh?), which could give us further indication that the new console is penned for a pre-Christmas launch.

Rumoured PS5 games

There will be a lot of big exclusives coming to Sony's console - from the new God of War to a perhaps a brand new Killzone.

LOOKS FAMILIAR: Where do you think Guerilla Games got the inspo for Killzone?

Both Killzone on the PS2 and Killzone 2 / 3 on the PS3 acted as showcases, pushing the consoles to the limits of what they can achieve graphically.

Should we see another Killzone, expect more of the same.

Crash Bandicoot

Recently, we’ve had the pleasure of four Crash Bandicoot games being remastered.

WHOA! We all want more Crash on PS5

It was a great trip down memory lane and remasters seem to be all the rage lately so wouldn’t it be a great way to launch a new Sony console than with its most recognised mascot?

PlayStation still gets preferential treatment with Crash titles, in particular, the Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy, so it wouldn’t be out of the question.

The Last Of Us 2 Remastered

The Last of Us 2 is scheduled to release on PlayStation 4, but it was recently announced that it will be delayed until the 29th May.

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME: Immensely popular and bespoke to Sony, it's a question of when not if

After a hiatus of five years, which doesn’t include the remasters, the God of War franchise was rebooted following Norse mythology.

It was nothing short of perfection and appetite for a sequel is growing by the day.
