Sadly, there’s no actual gameplay, but the trailer’s very existence does suggest a major media blowout for the PS5 isn’t too far away, especially with the console still scheduled to launch this Holiday 2020, alongside the Xbox Series X (opens in new tab).

The new blog post also features quotes from a number of PS5 first and third party developers, from Horizon: Forbidden West (opens in new tab)‘s Guerrilla Games to Spider-Man PS5 (opens in new tab)‘s Insomniac, explaining how the new technology of the hardware is allowing them to create more immersive experiences. 

Rumour has it that a digital PS5 event (opens in new tab) is “tentatively scheduled” for the later this month, and the arrival of today’s trailer certainly suggests Sony has another marketing spree cooking for the console in the lead up to its release.
