The PS5 Ghostwire: Tokyo release date window has been revealed by Sony during its CES presentation earlier today, and the upcoming game is slated for an October launch period this year. Ghostwire: Tokyo has been an intriguing presence in Sony's upcoming games lineup since it was first revealed during Bethesda's 2019 E3 press conference, and interest in both the game and its unique status has only risen as it nears its release window and further updates.
Ghostwire: Tokyo's developer, Tango Gameworks, has a pedigree in unsettling environments thanks to its work on The Evil Within. However, the big discussion point surrounding Ghostwire: Tokyo lately has been the game's strange status as a timed PS5 console exclusive that's being published by Bethesda - a company that is now owned by Microsoft, the company behind direct PS5 competitor Xbox Series X/S. Xbox boss Phil Spencer clarified that the publisher's acquisition wouldn't alter plans for Ghostwire: Tokyo's status as a timed PS5 console exclusive, so Xbox is essentially helping to publish a game that it won't actually have on its platform until at least a year after PS5 has it.
Information on just when the Ghostwire: Tokyo release date will be has been difficult to come by, but a new reveal during Sony's CES presentation earlier today has given consumers a window for the game's launch. Games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad tweeted out a screencap of the reveal, which came subtly at the end of a sizzle reel, earlier today, also providing info on other PS5 releases over the next several years. Ghostwire: Tokyo's PS5 release date window is listed as October 2021, making it a launch to look out for towards the close of this year.
Little else was revealed about the status of the game, but having a rough Ghostwire: Tokyo release date window is better than nothing for fans, especially with so few instances of new information over the past while. Creative director Ikumi Nakamura's departure from the project and studio in September 2019 was arguably the most talked about element of the game prior to its strange status with Microsoft's Bethesda acquisition, so more information about the game itself and less about what's happening around it would be welcome for the many intrigued by its premise.
January is often a slow period in the video game industry, and the early days of this year has stayed consistent with that pattern. That said, 2021 is slowly beginning to take shape for video game publishers and developers, and more release dates will likely begin emerging over the course of this month and the next, with a more distinct snapshot of what 2021 in gaming looks like not too far away. Fans now know that the PS5 will have Ghostwire: Tokyo backing its games library this year in October - what it looks like, and what other titles are supplementing it, remains to be seen.
Ghostwire: Tokyo will release on PS5 in October 2021, with a PC release also planned for 2021.
