The PlayStation 5 game reveal event was originally scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 4. However, out of respect for the Black Lives Matter movement and protests taking place all over the world, Sony ultimately decided topostpone the PS5 reveal event to a later date. And now, while an official announcement has yet to happen, it seems that the new PS5 reveal date has been leaked online.
Twitter user Nibellion, known for sharing accurate leaks and the like, has discovered a Twitch ad that reveals the new PS5 game reveal date. Assuming the ad is correct, the new PS5 game reveal date is Thursday, June 11 at 9:00pm BST, which translates to 3:00pm CST. This is exactly one week from when the originalPS5 game reveal eventwas supposed to take place, so it makes sense as the new date.

However, fans should keep in mind that plans could change.Sonyhas reportedly delayed the PS5 reveal event a number of times already behind the scenes, and depending on how this week pans out, it’s possible that it may get pushed back again.
As for what games will be shown at the PS5 game reveal event, that remains to be seen. Rumors have been swirling about what might be at the show, including whatever Bluepoint Games is working on, as well as aBloodbornePS5 remaster.
