Sony have no plan to release any major (established) franchise titles this year (April 2024- March 2025)

[Yurinka]

Ill be kinda happy with Astrobot and Concord. Another 3rd party exclusive at the end of the year would be good too

Im guessing no Wolverine for 2025? Because of Venom.
But I am expecting:

Venom
Death Stranding 2
GOT 2 - it will have been 5 years since the first
Media Molecules game- 5 years too
London Studios - last game was 2019
HouseMarque’s game - last game 2021/Returnal
Naughty Dogs game ( only a small team was working on Factions 2)

And maybe if they were smart enough, Cory Balrogs game
Dunno about Bend, FireSprite, Bluepoint were wasting time on GOWR lol.

Sony really needs some more studios. AAA and AA

I'd say the idea is something like this:
2024 TLOU2R, Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, Concord, Until Dawn Refurbished, Convallaria, Lost Soul Aside
2025 Death Stranding 2, Marathon, Cory's New IP, new Team Asobi game, Firesprite #1 game (Twisted Metal?)
2026 Wolverine, London Studio new IP, Horizon Online, Fairgame$, Firesprite #2 (Until Dawn VR/2?), Bungie new IP #2
2027 New Housemarque game, Venom, Ghost of Tsushima 2, ND game #1 (Unchrated spinoff), Deviation game, Horizon 3
2028 ND game #2 (new IP), GoW in new mythology, Gran Turismo 8, Bend's new IP, Media Molecule new game


And this is not counting potential acquisitions they can make in the next years or 2nd party games we don't know (maybe something from the Kena, Sifu, Stray devs?).

Media Molecule did start working on their next game when they were shutting down Dreams, not when they released it.

Fairgames was the GaaS they've shown the most of in that presentation last year. The only way it comes out in 2026 is if it faces some sort of major internal setback.

Sounds decent at best I guess. I hope some of them release quicker like ND, GOT 2 and Bends game. One can only wish. 1 game a generation is just sad.

I also hope they get Slocap, BlueTwelve Studio and Ember Labs like you suggested.

And maybe a popular studio + Ballistic Moon at the least. Just hopes lol

Well, it's the time I think they'll need to develop them. But they are growing all the studios, so they will work in more games at the same time in the future, so they will be able to release games more frequently.

That would be great, I'd get all these 4 plus Arrowhead.

Oh yes, Arrowhead too.
Whatever happened to Little Devil Inside?

As far as I know they are still working on it. It's their first game, so they must be struggling to complete the development. It was supposed to be released last year, I suppose will be released this year.

But well, Little Devil Inside isn't published by Sony.

No. They are a very productive team, and time ago Hermen menttioned it was surprised because they were developing the game faster than expected. Cerny was also impressed by the team.

They started the development in 2021, so I think they may have it ready for late 2025 but more likely early 2026. Because nowadays the normal AAA development takes 5-9 years. I think it's one of those games that maybe was scheduled for Q1 2026 but later they noticed that may not make it or simply decided to push it back to fill late 2026 calendar.

I'd be surprised if it gets released in 2025, specially in H1.

If they release a twisted metal that has the energy and fun factor of helldivers 2 it’d be my game of the generation

Xbox is releasing more games on ps5 than Sony in 2024

Yurinka uses chat GPT to generate his nonsese, mine is 100% human made doom.

My dooming is fair and unbiased, if it's something I would criticize on Xbox I also criticize on PlayStation, plenty of people here contradict themselves when PlayStation does the same things as Xbox.

Careful @Yurinka will cry to the Mods again if you bring up his ChatGpt style posts
