The first big news regarding the game is that it has been rated in Korea. It is also rated in Japan. Both of these ratings hint at the launch of the game being a lot closer than expected. This was echoed by former GameInformer editor Imran Khan, who said that the game was targeting the PS5 launch window but he can’t say this is still the case due to the COVID-19 pandemic possibly affecting development.

Sony has started to ramp up marketing for the PlayStation 5. They still haven’t revealed the price of the console or its release date but they are sticking with a Holiday 2020 release window.
