Countdown For New Sony Game “Panopticon” Appears

Something called “Panopticon” has appeared on the official Sony website, with a countdown (or, rather, count-up) that will expire next week.

It looks like it’s meant to show that the video has been running for a million years, which is quite cute and mysterious.

You can see the countdown here [via], embedding has been locked out by Sony.

A quick search for the game’s name revealed little more than it signifying a type of building designed by an English philosopher and social theorist in the 18th century.

Panopticon is also Greek for “seeing everything”.

A trade mark for the game appeared at the beginning of February this year.
