PlayStation’s Jim Ryan has announced a release window for the next console in the PlayStation lineage. PlayStation 5 will launch in the holiday period of 2020.
The release window was announced by the President and CEO of the iconic video game brand in an interview with Wired. The article also references new technology that will be integrated into the console’s controller, which will replace the long-standing “rumble” feature with new haptic tech, which will allow for more nuanced feedback to reflect in-game action.
More intriguing is the reveal of “adaptive triggers” which will allow developers to adjust the amount of resistance present in the L2/R2 buttons. For example, the trigger could become tenser to resemble tightening a bow-string, or kept fully loose for standard gameplay. These announcements seem to suggest that the typical PlayStation controller layout and shape will return, but this is merely suggestion.
