Sony announced a successor to the PlayStation 4 today, but it’s not intended to replace the console launched back in 2013.

Cerny introduced 4K footage of PS4 Pro-compatible games launching in the future, including Ubisoft’s For Honor and Insomniac’s upcoming Spider-Man game, along with previously released games like last month’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
