There have been tons of games announced during this generation that still haven't seen the light of day, and the chances of them being PS6 titles grows greater with each passing financial quarter. Games like the Splinter Cell remake, Star Wars Eclipse, The Elder Scrolls 6, and more have a good chance of missing the PS5 completely. Plus we have last week's poll results.
