We’ve already heard a number of things about the PlayStation 5 as of late, but haven’t really seen anything on Sony‘s end in terms of it being official. However, a new job listing suggests that it may be making a shift in that direction sooner rather than later.

The job listing, which appears here on Linkedin, appears to be tied in directly with promotion for the PlayStation 5, for a senior product manager.
It looks like a routine job listing, but there’s a sentence that really sticks out here: “You will own the roadmap for next generation PlayStation campaign.” That indicates the role of the job is to ramp up hype for the PS5, even though it hasn’t officially been revealed yet.
Here’s the breakdown of the job description, straight from the listing:
PlayStation isn’t just the Best Place to Play —it’s also the Best Place to Work. We’ve thrilled gamers since 1994, when we launched the original PlayStation. Today, we’re recognized as a global leader in interactive and digital entertainment. The PlayStation brand falls under Sony Interactive Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation.
