We’re not exactly at the end of the lifecycle of the PlayStation 4, but we’re getting there with every year. PS4 is easily one of the most successful consoles of all time, with it’s amazing lineup of Sony Exclusives, currently out and coming out in the next year. Now PlayStation 5 “Erebus” Codename has been hinted in some Unreal Engine 4 Engine files, details below.
PlayStation 5 “Erebus”
Yesterday, on Resetera, it was discovered by user Gemüsepizza, that something interesting showed up in Unreal Engine 4 files, give the code a look below
Now hang on, this could mean anything, right? But here’s where it get’s interesting, firstly, it’s listed right next to PS4 in the second code image, and what’s even noteworthy is In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrɪbəs, -əb-/, also Erebos (Greek: Ἔρεβος, “deep darkness, shadow”), was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod’s Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos.
Five being the keyword here.
Here are what the previous PlayStation consoles were called
- Orbis (PS4)
- Morpheus (PS VR)
- Neo (PS4 Pro)
So PS5 = Erebus?
This could just be what the codename is referring to, but take this with a grain of salt, because this is all based on speculation and could just be something entirely else. There is no doubt that Sony is already hard at work on the next console, given how games like Cyberpunk 2077 could very well by cross generation, we’ll have to wait and see.
