PS5 game reveal event has been delayed: “Not a time for celebration”
In the wake of mass American protests over the weekend, and social media being used to broadcast on-the-ground reports of their events, Sony has chosen to indefinitely delay its reveal of major PlayStation 5 games that was originally set for June 4.
"While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration," the official PlayStation Twitter account posted on Monday. "For now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard."
As of press time, Sony Interactive Entertainment hasn't announced a replacement date or time for the event. This follows a Sunday post by PlayStation's corporate parent Sony boosting the signal of protesters, legal advocates, and fundraisers, all allied with the Black Lives Matter movement. That same account took the unusual corporate step of responding to apparent social media trolls, particularly a repudiation of "all lives matter" rhetoric: "If you can't say 'black lives matter,' you're not being inclusive."
