Dunno where it comes from but saw people talking about Horizon 3 coming in 2027, which I can indeed see, both because it was the time that took from 1 to 2, and that it will turn 10 that year... but the rumor was also saying it would be a PS6 launch title, which makes me pretty much guarantee it is completely fake.
PS6 won't be coming in 2027 and Sony will not hold a game like Horizon for a new console release, as they never did anything like that, and proved every time they release their biggest games always whenever they are done. |
yeah I know who made that rumor and I don't trust the guy but I don't think it's crazy to think that a new console could potentially release at the end of 2027. Personally I would love 2028-2029 but you never know and Horizon 3 may take longer than 2027 to release if they are making the multiplayer right now which I'm interested to see because Horizon Zero Dawn in its early stages of development was a multiplayer game. |
They have 2 teams nowdays, so that should not interfere with Horizon 3 dev time, at least not considerably.
And I can't see the PS5 coming at 2027, it's only 3 years after the 5 Pro, the PS5 took 4 years after the 4 Pro to come.
Plus, there is no good reason the PS6 would release in 2027.
Tech won't be there: PS5 Pro is quite powerful to be topped sooner rather than latter;
Price definitely won't be there: 5 Pro is also very expensive and even the 2TB Series X is as expensive as that now;
Games now benefit from a longer generation cycle;
Microsoft can't force Sony hand at all.
If they launch the PS6 is 2027 it will only lead to an unnecessary, unimpressive and still very expensive machine, or a $1000+ machine that will not reach PS3 numbers to say the least, also killing the PS5 gen for no reason at all.
Late 2028 right now sound like the earliest it should be coming, to match a decent balance of tech, price and long dev cycle. Unless the Switch 2 somehow kills the PS5, which I also can't see happening at all too, both should co-exist applealing mostly to their own strenghts and not hurt eachother.
