Sony Updates CES Video To Remove Mention of Most Upcoming PS5 Exclusives

Sony has updated its CES 2021 video to remove mentions of any upcoming PS5 exclusives that didn't have a release date including Project Athia.

You mean 3rd party release dates? I’m sure they decided it’s best to leave the release dates up to the publishers.

[SullysCigar]

Yup. I prefer them to focus on the ones closer to launch anyway - there's so much going on, it being a new gen, that it helps people get a truer picture. Pretty sure Project Athia was confirmed to NOT be this year, so hold off hyping it and give the air time to those on the cusp of release.

[REDGUM]

I'm at a loss as to why you've been down voted?
What you've written makes sense to me.

[Darkborn]

I feel the same way, especially with what's been going on with covid so far. We've seen how easy it is to pull away our excitement just like with hogwarts legacy recently.

Everything is going to be delayed In 2021

[NeoGamer232]

They announced God of War and GT for 2021 as well (I know they aren't part of the article, but they were announced for 2021).

GT was delayed a few weeks ago. I am sure GoW will be delayed as well.

That is just how 2021 will be. The year of the delays. Sony still has a great lineup with R&C, Returnal, and Horizon! Don't really need to do more.

[lelo2play]

So basically, Sony started announcing a bunch of games with release dates to increase the hype... months later removes the release dates.

Sony lied again...

[Sherif129]

They literally shared this a few days ago at CES. No idea where the “months later” came from.

[andy85]

They were probably placeholder dates that the developer provided to Sony but weren't supposed to be in the video. The games will still be on course for the times said unless the developer publicly says different

[chiefJohn117]

This is nothing new Sony does this yearly, they annouce a bunch of games to make the year seem stack then half em don't release that year.

[Silly gameAr]

But, at least they release games. Even if some of the games they annouce don't release, they have other games that take their place.

[potatoseal]

Your comment is a lie and total bullshit

[utopiancat]

What?

I mean, at least Sony has been releasing games. And again the removed games are 3'rd party.

[Mr_Luke]

@chief
You have no idea of what you're talking about, do you?

[chiefJohn117]

Potatoseal, History don't lie, anyone honest with themselves (something you know nothing about) know this is nothing new.

[potatoseal]

@ Chief.

I mean how can I speak sense to a deluded liar? You don't care about reasoning. You don't care about facts. You don't care about logic. You're a lost cause my friend.

[chiefJohn117]

You must be looking in a mirror and telling yourself that

[JustTheFax]

hahaha potatoseal couldn't resist responding. You guys are funny

[boing1]

It's better not to promise anything after CP fiasco. Smart.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

I am glad that Cyberpunk fiasco was the wake-up call publishers needed.

[Darkborn]

There's been plenty of wakeup calls lately and no one learned anything.

Edit* Anthem, Shadow of war, Battlefront 2, Fallout 76, Mass Effect Andromeda as well as some others for sure.

[darklaw]

project athia is Final fantasy 16

[Exvalos]

So its now sonys fault that 3rd party games dont hit there targeted release window??? I mean that's what some of you guys are saying in the comments.

[jznrpg]

They need to try and knock PS in their minds so they feel better about buying their Xbox’s .

[Darkborn]

Yeah because in their heads a game not coming out in it's release window on Sony's console is the same thing as them having a game now instead of nothing.

[QuePasa87]

Better to disclose at a more appropriate time
