Checked rating dates of other sony titles like horizon, gow, ghost and tlou2 and all of them were withing 3 months of eventual release. So a launch release is very much possible.
Just checked, Days Gone was rated in Korea January 2019, it's actual release date was in April, 3 month window as well

Death Stranding was rated September, release date November, 2 months

Predator Hunting Grounds rated February, released April, 2 months

Demons is legitimately my favourite souls game, but I think the things I like about it won't resonate as well with fans of the franchise who haven't played it yet. I liked the smaller scope. The game is what, 20 levels long and you're done right? or is it less than twenty? Which speaking of: Levels. I genuinely preferred the stage based gameplay to the big open worlds of the later games. Everything was just tighter and more straightforward. I never had a moment in demons souls where I was trying to remember which of the 5 different paths had things I hadn't fully gone down yet or whatever, you know what I mean? You could just look at the archstone's and say "oh, I haven't done world 2-3 yet"

If they manage to have Miles Morales, Demon´s Souls and GT7 proper or a GT7 prologue game ready for PS5 release, this launch will turn out more than well.

Yup pretty consistent. They also have a link with other agency ratings and it shows cero(japan) has rated it as well.

Don't care at all about any of the other launch games, but this alone would make me purchase a digital edition at release

Be very surprised if it makes launch. If it makes 2020 that will still be amazing considering we’ve only seen a CG trailer so far.

Even if it is at launch though, we’ll still have loads on here telling us they don’t want to buy a PS5 just for some DLC and an old PS3 game.

I don’t see why people were so adamant this wasn’t a launch title. Sony haven’t announced the launch line up yet.

Hmm maybe Spidey in november and Demon Souls in december?

They can't be mad lads and release them both at launch can they? Sony! Time to reveal price, date and games nooow.

It's weird if this does make it for launch that they didn't show any gameplay or even give it a release year in its trailer. Why the secrecy?

I always assumed it would be a launch title from the timing after Shadow of the Colossus and the way Bluepoint were featured so heavily in interviews beforehand.

Imagine if they have PS5 Demon's bundles at launch...

Spider-man for all the casuals, Demon's Souls for the hardcore crowd, throw in some sackboy for the family - baby we've got a launch lineup going.

Would there be a reason it’s not a launch game? It’s a remake and we’ve known about it for some time. I’d have thought this was being prepped as a launch game since near inception.

weird that people are surprised by this. blue-point said countless times, that their next-project is a ps5 launch game.
same goes for housemarque and returnal.

Is there a general guideline for how long before release a game goes to ratings boards? Certainly makes it seem like it's not too far away, though I dunno if it's enough to suggest a launch or launch window title.
Cyberpunk was rated in April of this year. Its difficult to see this launching until Jan or Feb at the earliest

Is there ever a case where a game gets rated more than a year before it comes out?

Because even if this misses the launch window and is confirmed for 2021, holy shit.
Even if sometimes that would be the case, ALL of SIE's recent games have had about a 3 month difference between the Korean rating and the actual release. Tendency points to Demon's Souls then possibly being REALLY near.

People have been downplaying next gen launch but I cannot imagine how amazing it will be. Off the top of my head:
1. Demons Soul's
2. The Medium
3. Spiderman: Mile Morales
4. Cyberpunk
5. AC: Valhalla
6. Watchdogs: Legion
7. Scorn
8. Flight Simulator
9. Gears Tactics
10. Forza Horizon 4 in 4k 60
11. The Ascent
12. Crossfire X
13. Ghost of Tshushima upgraded(I hope!)

I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I am interested in so far. So excited to come home with my new consoles and games!
