A launch trailer has been revealed for the PlayStation 5, featuring many of the consoles up and coming new game releases. With only a mere matter of days before the PlayStation 5 is released to the public, the latest trailer from Sony shows players what they could be playing on launch day.
Sony has managed to score a range of exclusives for the PlayStation 5, something that is noticeably lacking from the launch of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S. From the family friendly Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart to the dark and foreboding Demon’s Souls, the release of the PlayStation 5 looks like it's trying to appeal to every generation of gamer. While not all of the exclusives will be available at the launch of the PS5, with Horizon Forbidden West not expected to be available until the latter half of next year, this has not dampened the excitement and enthusiasm of PlayStation’s fanbase. Sales of Sony’s next-gen gaming console sold more units through pre-orders than the PlayStation 4 sold within it’s first 12 weeks.
Now, with only three days until the dawn of the PlayStation 5, Sony has treated fans to yet another trailer, showing off the beauty of its next-gen games. Featuring the vocal stylings once more of Travis Scott, this latest release trailer puts a spotlight on the various virtual worlds that will become available to owners of the PS5. Aloy can be seen diving deep into the azure blue waters of the Forbidden West, Miles Morales confidently flies through the streets of New York City and savage demons flex their claws in the cursed Boletaria.
The run up to the release of the PlayStation 5 has not been totally smooth sailing for Sony. After proudly stating that only a small handful of games from the PlayStation 4 would not be able to be played on their new console, it turns out that that list could actually be a tad longer than first assumed. Then there was a spot of legal trouble over a third-party entrepreneur trying to sell customized PS5 faceplates, something that Sony swiftly put a stop to. Finally, there was an issue with a console overheating in a display case at Best Buy, which was unfortunately spotted by an eagle eyed consumer and quickly shared on the internet (although it should be noted this is unlikely to be such an issue when consoles are in the home environment rather than in a stuffy display case).
This latest trailer from Sony may be enough for Sony to erase all of these pretty minor quibbles. As fans reach ever closer to the next generation of gaming, and getting their hands on the coveted PlayStation 5, the levels of anticipation are only going to grow higher and higher with each passing moment.
The PlayStation 5 launches on November 12.
