Forum user Resetera Gemüsepizza believes that he has discovered the Playstation 5 processing  name, which is the name that is used internally during the gestation of the console. Searching through the Unreal Engine 4 files , he discovered the existence of a new and unidentified platform, listed along with the other supported ones: “ Erebus “.

Why think about  PS5 ? For several reasons. Meanwhile, because we already know the working name of the next Xbox, which is  Scarlett . Also because Erebus , the personification of darkness, is a Greek ancestral deity, born of Chaos and Chaos , being part of the first five divine entities of creation, along with day and night. Furthermore, the working names of the last three PlayStation all referenced to Greek mythology: PS4 was  Orbis , PS VR was Morpheus , and PS4 PRo was Neo .

Obviously these are mere speculations and should be taken as such. Surely the fact that Erebus is in the Unreal Engine 4 files means something, so it is right to think about it, but it is always better not to rush to conclusions, also because there is still time for the release of PlayStation 5, since we are talking at the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020 (the second hypothesis more likely).
