A user of the ResetEra forum has quantified more precisely the mystery surrounding the internal productions of PlayStation Studiospointing out that well 11 of the 15 teams that make up Sony’s first parties they haven’t announced the games yet which they have been working on, in some cases for years.
The situation is rather unprecedented, considering that titles are usually announced well in advance of launch times, but Sony has significantly slowed down the pace of its communications, at least as regards first party productions on PS5so we are in the current situation.
Basically, there are some teams that have released their latest game for a few years now but we don’t know exactly what they’re working on, although to be fair, in many cases the games in development are quite predictable.
A simple list of teams shows the current situation
In summary, this list is reported in the thread on ResetEra, to help understand the situation of the respective official announcements for each Sony first party team.
So let’s see the titles:
- Asobi: Astro Bot
- Bend Studio: –
- Bluepoint: –
- Firesprite: –
- Firewalk: Concord
- Guerrilla: –
- Haven: FairGame$
- Housemarque: –
- Insomniac: Marvel’s Wolverine
- Media Molecule: –
- Naughty Dog: –
- Polyphony: – [probabilmente Gran Turismo 8]
- San Diego Studio: – [probabilmente MLB The Show 25]
- Santa Monica Studio: –
- Sucker Punch: –
Considering the most obvious titles, these are 9 teams that have not yet revealed their new production, but even among these we can make some rather plausible assumptions.
Guerrilla is probably working on something else related Horizonconsidering that it has previously reported that it is working on a multiplayer experience tied to the franchise and a “new Aloy adventure”, which could be the third entry in the regular series, in addition to LEGO Horizon Adventures.
Sucker Punch, to tell the truth, is also probably working on Ghost of Tsushima 2, although there is no confirmation as to whether this is actually the new title from the team.
In any case, there are still several titles that are expected to be very important, coming from Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and others. Considering the difficulties of the current video game industry, a more cautious approach is understandable even in the announcements by Sony, also because PS5 continues to sell at a great pace regardless of the presence of first-party games or not, and the exclusivity agreements with third parties have worked very well so far to fill the gaps.
We are still waiting for a possible PlayStation Showcase which could be more revealing about what’s new from PlayStation Studios.
