Sony has been doing a behind-closed-doors playtest at PlayStation UK, which nothing is known about; just theories and that it has been exclusively for PlayStation 5.
sony is saying goodbye to PS4 little by little, especially now that PlayStation in UK is testing games for PS5. And speaking of playtestthe company would have made a recent and focused on a soulsborne.
As described by Insider Gaming, it has been discovered that there has been an event like this in London for fans of this genre, but no one has any idea what game it could have been or if they showed anything else.
In the examples provided in the list – now closed – references were made to games such as Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Dark Souls.
It was a 4-day test in total (for which testers would receive 500 pounds) and took place in Oxford Circus, central London, on dates between October 10 and 13.
But what’s really important is that users on Reddit and ResetEra were among the first to notice this playtest in London and are still wondering what game it could have been.
In the latest forums, the OP states: “They announced a playtest session in London last fall for a Virtual Reality racing game” and finally it turned out to be Gran Turismo 7 VR; it was also for premieres like Dreams.
Ruling out Demon’s Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, any ideas?
Considering what is next with the PlayStation UK officesthere may be more than one subsidiary involved like the Japanese one.
It has already been considered, in the consensus of many, that the tested game is Rise of the Ronin, a game with 7 years of development. The curious thing is that Team Ninja was already thinking about launching a new game in 2025..
This next action RPG is expected on PlayStation 5 next year and if it arrives during the first months of 2024, then it makes sense for playtests to be carried out around this time.
The aforementioned media says that it could be the new Bluepoint game that began development in January, but it could fit having made the recent remake and Shadow of the Colossus on PS4.
A leak said that Rise of the Ronin was a mix of Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed and Dark Souls, but we’ll see if at the end of 2023 we know more about all this.
The point is that PlayStation UK tested a Soulsborne for PS5 behind closed doorswith references to several well-known games of the genre.
