Sony fans have been buzzing about the PlayStation 5 for months. Back in May, Sony executive Tsuyoshi “John” Korea stated the next gen console should drop in the next three years. Both Xbox and PlayStation should have seamless cross play in addition to astoundingly good graphics. Still, we’ve received little in the way of actual development updates. Finally, we may have some proof that the project is well underway.

In a resetera post, user Gemüsepizza showed off an image with the word Erebus buried within code. Erebus also shows up in a line of Unreal Engine 4 code. It’s listed alongside the development engine’s other supported platforms. Obviously, that console does not exist yet. With Scarlet serving as the codename for the next Xbox console, it’s logical to assume that Erebus stands for PlayStation 5.

The meaning of Erebus hints even further at this rumor’s accuracy. Erebus was one of the Greek primordial gods, the embodiment of darkness and shadows. Between the project’s secrecy and PlayStation’s affinity for black, this adds up. Furthermore, Erebus was the fifth primordial god to come into existence. That’s too big of a coincidence to ignore. Count me as a 90% believer in this rumor.

As a PlayStation user, this news feels bittersweet. I’m actually happy that Microsoft will probably release its new console before Sony, if those rumors are also accurate. Putting down the old console for the new feels like the end of a long friendship. My PS4 still sees tons of use, but I’m ecstatic at the possibility for hyperrealistic graphics. If every game looks like The Last of Us Part 2, however, I think I’ll be able to handle the shift to a PlayStation 5 with ease.

Do you buy into this rumor? Could Erebus be PlayStation 5’s working title? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! And don’t forget to follow DFTG on Facebook and Twitter for more gaming news and updates!
