Sony Announce Release Windows For Some Upcoming Games

CES 2021 started yesterday and came with a ton of awesome tech announcements that included Sony Revealing a bunch of release windows for some upcoming video games.

Jim Ryan kicked off the PlayStation part of the show by discussing the PlayStation 5's launch and the upcoming Uncharted movie and The Last of Us TV show, However, he quickly transitioned into a trailer for some games followed by a ton of details.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is apparently set to launch sometime in March 2021, Solar Ash is expected June 2021, Little Devil Inside is expected July 2021 with Ghostwire Toyko and Stray scheduled for October 2021. Lastly, Project Athia isn't coming anytime soon with it set to arrive in 2022, while Capcom's Pragmata won't be on PS5 until 2023.

These are release windows so they can change at any point in time but it seems like PlayStation have a pretty packed year, especially when Deathloop is possibly coming in May and Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart supposedly coming in 2021 too. Oh and Destruction AllStars on PlayStation Plus in February. It’s looking like a great but expensive year for PlayStation Players.
