A reader tries to work out precisely what video games Sony is at present engaged on and comes up with a minimal variety of 16.
The previous couple of years haven’t been a lot enjoyable for PlayStation 5 followers. So few bulletins, so few new video games, and no actual phrase from Sony as to what they’re doing (or not doing) – particularly with regards to stay service video games. It’s been anybody’s guess what’s going and with no signal of a State of Play but for 2025 it doesn’t appear as if something’s going to vary all of the sudden.
The purpose individuals are getting upset is that this by no means was how they did issues and there doesn’t appear any purpose why they’ve modified. Sony has numerous first occasion builders and but we hardly know for certain what any of them are doing proper now. So I made a decision to undergo all of them and it appears to me there’s a naked minimal of 16 video games at present underway.
16 video games and but we solely formally find out about 4 of them. Four, and all of them solely by means of brief pre-rendered trailers. It’s weird and I simply don’t understand how that is meant to learn anybody, least of all Sony. So, right here’s the record by my reckoning. I’ve most likely missed out some, and a few builders could also be engaged on a couple of factor directly, so the true quantity could possibly be fairly a bit extra.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Naughty Dog introduced their new recreation at The Game Awards final month: some sort of third occasion sci-fi recreation that’s additionally a brand new IP.
The Last Of Us Part 3
Naughty Dog has mentioned they’re engaged on a number of single-player video games in the intervening time, and I can’t imagine that one in every of them shouldn’t be a 3rd Last Of Us recreation.
Santa Monica Studio new IP
We know the makers of Santa Monica are making a brand new IP as a result of they put job advertisements out for it only in the near past. There’s no clue what it’s, however it is likely to be sci-fi.
New God Of War
This goes with out saying however there was a brand new job itemizing for this as nicely. It would possibly simply be a half-sequel, however both manner it’s a brand new recreation.
Ghost Of Yōtei
Hurrah! An precise formally introduced recreation that we all know is unquestionably popping out this yr. Sadly, it’s the one one on the record.
Bend Studio new IP
The makers of Days Gone have been mentioned to be engaged on a brand new open world IP for some time, however positively not Days Gone 2.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Officially introduced however due to the hack final yr it sounds prefer it’s had some hassle. I’d hope there’s nonetheless an opportunity it may come out this yr although.
Venom recreation
This was rumoured to be a half-sequel like Miles Morales, however I haven’t heard something about it for the reason that hack, so this is likely to be the one one on this record that doesn’t occur. Especially because the voice actor died.
Bluepoint Games
They haven’t had a brand new recreation for the reason that Demon’s Souls remake, however they mentioned they’re engaged on a brand new IP so I’m all for that.
Fairgame$
Another really introduced recreation! Although I’m unsure anybody really cares about this new stay service recreation.
Horizon multiplayer recreation
This has been rumoured for ages, however I haven’t seen something to say it’s been cancelled or something after the failure of Concord.
Horizon 3
There’s no manner this isn’t taking place and since Guerrilla Games hasn’t introduced something new you’ll be able to solely assume it’s their subsequent huge undertaking.
Media Molecule new IP
Shockingly, the makers of LittleBigPlanet haven’t been shut down however are apparently engaged on a brand new IP.
Housemarque new IP
Another studio whose final recreation was years in the past (Returnal) however hasn’t introduced anything new, regardless of saying they’re making a brand new IP.
Gran Turismo 8
Another lifeless cert, in some unspecified time in the future at the least, however both manner Polyphony Digital has obtained to be engaged on one thing new. Unless Sony is paying these firms to be sitting there twiddling their thumbs.
New Astro Bot
Another assured sequel and even when it’s not Team Asobi are clearly going to be engaged on one thing new and given the success of Astro Bot most likely with a a lot larger finances.
