What lmao

So does that mean like... November in America/Canada, December everywhere else?

 

[Lashley]

Cries in EU

Fuck, hopefully isn't true

 

[DGenerator]

WTF difference is there between Holiday 2020 and late 2020??!? Is six weeks before the end of 2020 not late 2020?

 

[Deleted member 2441]

That's probably because "Holiday" as a time period is a very US/Canada-centric term, rather than it being a different timeframe.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Canada was not forgotten.

 

[____]

Probably Thanksgiving for US and Christmas for ROW.

 

[Ravelle]

What is considered "the holidays" in the US?

When I think holidays it's usually December.

 

[PlayBee]

I thought Jim Ryan said they wouldn't do this

 

[DarkVaber32]

Didnt Sony already say the PS5 launch will be global?

 

[Nexus2049]

Holiday 2020 is late 2020 lol

 

[CaptainKashup]

So if you're not American, you're fucked and doomed to be spoiled on every launch game ?

 

[Deleted member 61469]

lmao, tier 2 continent?

Possibly November in US/Canada, and December for the rest of the world.
Like 13th/20th November NA, 4th/11th December EU

 

[Uzupedro]

Didn't Sony said more than one time that is going to be a global release?

 

[ArmGunar]

Jim Ryan said they want a global launch (not the PS4 situation with Japan release months after)

So doubt

 

[Toumari]

Those are the same thing.

 

[shoemasta]

Omg Holyday!!!

 

[Rocketz]

I'm just going to say this has to do with more how wording is done in the US/Canada compared to the rest of the world.

 

[Deleted member 864]

It's the same thing, they've also said it's going to be a global release.

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Uh oh

It usually starts with Thanksgiving which is at the tail end of November.

 

[Gay Bowser]

They're just using the approved Sony vernacular in each region. It'll release before Christmas in all regions.

Black Friday isn't as much of a thing in some countries as it is in North America, so I could see it launching on, say, November 20 in the US and Canada and then a week or two later globally, not unlike the PS4.

In regions like Japan where console launches on Saturday aren't uncommon, December 5 might be a nice date. Goes with the 5 and everything.

 

[Deleted member 5028]

Is that implying they are launching on PS5 first then XSX later?

 

[the7egend]

Holiday 2020 is late 2020... How much later can it get, unless 2020 decided to add another month, because after this year that's what I expect.

 

[Green]

Eight hundred Canuckeroos for this one I bet.

 

[hydruxo]

Holiday 2020 is just a generic way of saying November-December without committing to a date. It'll be November.

 

[Unkindled]

What happened to Jim saying world wide same day release.

 

[jawzpause]

Better not be true, can't understand why they'd do that anyway considering how big PlayStation is in Europe at the moment

 

[PeskyToaster]

Price and date, c'mon. It's getting ridiculous.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

Have many consoles come out in December? I can't think of any.

 

[shark97]

technically they said the ps5 version of the GAME was launching at those times. And games can release at different times than consoles.

 

[Mass Effect]

???

November is still late 2020...

It's basically Halloween to New Year's

Well... there is this little pandemic going on that may be screwing up supply chain logistics.

And also, a month apart for release between markets may still "count" as a global release.

 

[chandoog]

How late is left after Holidays 2020 ?

 

[Stinkinmushroom]

Decmeber is still fine if thats the case..

 

[Jedi2016]

Holiday 2020 is "late" 2020.

And we already knew this.

 

[finalflame]

Ayyyyy

 

[Darknight]

Activision continues with the confusing messaging....

 

[Serious Sam]

So places that like Playstation the most get it last? Yeah, that makes complete sense.

 

[Playboi Carti]

They're talking about the PS5 version of the game, not the console itself, start reading properly please, time to lock this up.

 

[Ravelle]

It usually starts with Thanksgiving which is at the tail end of November.

That makes it even weirder to use "late 2020" as if late november isn't haha.

Reads more like a "Yep, The PS5 will still come out at the end of the year"

 

[kostacurtas]

This is how Sony has the description of the date in their official PS5 webpage depending the country.

It is the same.

Activision just says what Sony says.

 

[bbq of doom]

It's the same time?

Black Friday is in November and the start of the holiday season. It's not really a thing anywhere but the US/CAN IIRC.

 

[DrDeckard]

I have a feeling that this is nothing, and there is no reason to panic...but we will.

The last time it was like last week, with that PS5 ad

 

[Xbox Live Mike]

My Credit card is ready. Sony and MS need to do a announcement at the same day and time, no take backsies.

 

[Dust]

That is not what that says.

 

[Phantom_Snake]

The PS5 version of the game, not the console itself lmao, time to lock this up.

Click to shrink...

This. Activision is talking about the PS5 version of COD, not the console.

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Probably like the PS4 right? 15th Nov for US and 29th for Europe.
