During the “PS5 – The Future of Gaming” live stream show, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi officially announced Gran Turismo 7 for the Playstation 5.
The announcement was accompanied by the first official video trailer of Gran Turismo 7, revealing some of the impressive cutscene, menus, user interface, and plenty of content and gameplay footage including what seems to be the return of the popular fictional Trial Mountain circuit.
It is clear that Polyphony Digital’s GT7 will reintroduce popular elements from the older games of the franchise with features such as the Used Car Dealership and the Campaign mode in Gran Turismo 4 style.
Sony Interactive Entertainment did not yet reveal an official launch date for Gran Turismo 7, but it is safe to assume that under normal circumstances it will be somewhere in November or December of this year.
Sony Reveals PlayStation 5 Console
PS5 also comes in two different flavors. Sitting alongside the regular PS5 is the Digital Edition. This new version would be the first PlayStation console not to feature a disc drive of any kind, embodying the shift from disc-based media to downloads. Without the drive, the PS5DE is entirely symmetrical.
As well as the consoles, Sony revealed some further accessories, all in a similar theme. That includes a DualSense charging station, a dual-lense HD camera, a media remote control, and a new Pulse 3D wireless headset.
We await confirmation of the pricing of the two consoles and their launch bundles, though we’d expect the PS5DE to be marginally cheaper thanks to the elimination of the optical drive. In the meantime, you can watch the reveal video below:
