No, as likely and expected as it seems, that post about an Amazon France listing of a Skyrim Special Edition for PlayStation 5 isn?t real. Skyrim PS5 just feels like an inevitability at this point, but it?s posting less than 24 hours after the reveal of the PS5 game case design is far too convenient, especially where no other PS5 game listings have appeared, officially or otherwise.

The real damage, however, wasn?t done until @NextGenPlayer took the tweet for their own and posted it, quickly gaining almost 4,000 retweets. This is the point at which the rumor kicked up and it hit that point of information dissemination that folks started thinking it might be real.
