While we know that PlayStation’s first-party stables run deep, the problem is that there are so many teams with unannounced projects right now.
We only just got a glimpse at what Naughty Dog has been working on since the launch of The Last of Us Part II in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, however, the current workings of several studios remain a mystery.
Cory Barlog’s rumoured new IP is assumed, though not confirmed. At one stage, we were expecting a spin-off from Marvel’s Spider-Man universe, perhaps starring Venom, however, where that has landed in a post-leak world is anyone’s guess.
Then you’ve got Housemarque, Bend, and Bluepoint.
We might enter 2025 with a shortlist of exciting titles that are coming and could come, to PlayStation 5 this year, though when it comes to the console’s second slate of releases I expect we’re only getting started.
