Sony has been extremely successful in keeping things under wraps. There have been absolutely no credible leaks regarding the console, which only fuels anticipations further.

PlayStation 5 launch date, price reveal, game updates, and more

The thread reveals that along with a price announcement and launch date, multiple gameplay reveals will also be unveiled. This would include games like ‘Spiderman: Miles Morales’, ‘Gran Tourismo 7’, ‘Godfall’, and ‘Returnal’. There will also be a trailer launch for ‘Horizon: Forbidden West’.

It also mentions that the ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’ multi-player reveal will take place at the event. This makes sense, considering recent leaks suggested that BO CW beta will be available to PS4 users before other platforms. The official date for the multi-player reveal is also September 9, which coincides with this rumored PlayStation event.

Lastly, the thread mentions a “Partnership anouncement of 30 party games, including content of multiplayer and timed exclusive”. This could hold true, considering there were reports suggesting Sony contacted multiple third-party developers for exclusive content.

Even though all this seems exciting, it is still a rumor. And considering Sony’s ability to keep a secret and prove credible leakers wrong, there may or may not be an event happening on September 9. Sony recently announced that it was accepting registrations for pre-orders in the US on a first-come-first-serve basis. The rumored event date is not too far away, and there could be an official announcement soon enough.
