Sony brings together developers every year for the annual PlayStation DevCon, and 2018’s incarnation will take place in London – presumably at the platform holder’s headquarters, unless it’s booked out a swanky business room. And this is the problem: despite PlayStation 5 reports all over the web, we don’t actually know anything about the event.
A website reveals that registrations for the convention are now closed, and there’s no information on when it will take place, who will be attending, and what the sessions will involve. Some people think that the manufacturer may brief those in the audience on its next generation console, and while it’s certainly possible, we simply can’t infer anything from the information we have.
So there you have it, the hot rumour of the weekend: Sony may or may not brief unknown attendees on unknown topics at an industry event set to take place in London on an unknown date. To be honest, we’re almost certain that it’s talking to its partners in detail about its next device – but it’s going to have so much red tape around the specifics that we won’t hear much until it’s ready to reveal all.

There will be chatter about PS5 there for sure, but the real news from Sony comes Q1 next year when The PlayStation Event is announced.
PS5 November 2019 next year is gonna be Awesome, look at the past comparison the proof is in the pudding, in 2012 Infinity Ward put a Next gen Job listing and the next year Next Gen launched and they released Call Of Duty Ghost and it was Cross Gen on Next Gen 8, 6 years later Infinity Ward put a Next Gen Job listing and they’re gonna release Modern Warfare 4 next year and it’ll be Cross Gen on Next Gen 9.

2019 is my year 😀
@Badboyfx86 That's actually a very good point and sound reasoning! I'm looking forward to next year now.
Don't fret. There'll be a few loose-lipped devs willing to spill the beans under cover of anonymity, if there is anything to tell. It just seems about the right time that people who will be making games for the thing should know about it. 2019/2020 isn't that far away.
The first rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018 is: You do not talk about PlayStation DevCon 2018. The second rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018 is: You do not talk about PlayStation DevCon 2018. Third rule of PlayStation DevCon 2018: Someone yells "Nextgen!", goes limp, taps out, the conference is over. Fourth rule: Only two guys to a PS5.
Probably best to give developers lots of notice . At the start of this generation we had games like Assassins Creed Unity build to take advantage of more powerful CPUs that never materialised in this generation.
@RogerRoger you, sir, are a true wordsmith 🤣
There is a good reason why the registrations are closed, this event took place back in May.
@RogerRoger yes it is.
Sony is the Illuminati confirmed.

I'm not one to spread rumors, but my cousin's best friend's sister's boyfriend who works for a company that does janitorial services for Sony has a boss who said that his corporate contact's senior adviser knows a developer who said...
My source who accurately predicted Apple was making iPhone X successor, informed me that Sony is making a PS4 successor. Reliable source.
The controller that the girl in the picture is holding looks all gross and greasy.
