What is this teasing? (YouTube)A new PS5 advert has got tongues wagging for seemingly hinting at a new annoucement for PlayStations 30th birthday.The 30th anniversary of the PlayStation brand is coming up, so youd think Sony would have something special planned for such a momentous landmark in its history, but so far its done relatively little to reference it.There was the range of limited edition hardware, featuring the original logo and grey colour scheme of the PlayStation 1, but all of that was very expensive, and quickly sold out, and so now fans think Sonys gearing up for something else.The rumours are based on a new advert for the PlayStation 5, which at face value seems fairly innocuous, but is believed to be hiding a teaser for the anniversary itself.Said ad went up on YouTube earlier today and it doesnt feature any actual games or products. Just the iconic button symbols appearing throughout a city, as it shifts and morphs into a big playground, capping off with Sonys Play has no limits slogan.However, around the 11 second mark, a train station sign can be seen displaying a date and time for December 3 at 20:24. Or rather December 3, 2024. Thats the exact date of the PlayStations anniversary.As such, people are assuming Sony has some kind of an announcement planned for that date. If so, the next question is what it could actually be. A new mini-console, to replace the flawed PlayStation Classic? A retro compilation of older titles? At the very least, wed expect some more affordable products for the Christmas period.We do know Sony is collaborating with Youtooz on a new range of collectible figures. Recently, Youtooz posted a teaser on X for figures of Kratos, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Astro Bot, so maybe a formal announcement and release date is being saved for the anniversary.Some have suggested there could even be a whole showcase, but thats probably wishful thinking. Plus, with The Game Awards 2024 taking place that same week, any major PlayStation game announcements would most likely be saved for then.Over on Reddit, fans are trying to manage expectations. Definitely a hint at their 30th anniversary, showcase not so much, wrote user Arcanunn.Some like VenturerKnigtmare420 have taken the opportunity to joke about how maybe this time Sony will definitely announce the Bloodborne remaster everyone wants.These are likely coming out to coincide with the anniversary (Youtooz)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.MORE : PS5 Pro selling faster than PS4 Pro price had no negative impact says SonyMORE : Where are the PS5 and Switch made?
