Expert Verified By

Sony Might Reveal More Info Soon!

Story Highlight
  • Sony has established a new internal studio in LA to develop an AAA entry in a new unknown franchise.
  • The studio wants to reimagine the development process with a lean and highly efficient approach.
  • The developers are also using Agile development techniques, so the game might launch earlier than we suspect.

From live-service titles like Helldivers 2 to cinematic experiences like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Sony boasts a highly reputable portfolio of games that span many genres and audiences in the industry. However, its recent roster of upcoming games is arguably more lackluster than ever before, but all hope might not be lost just yet.

Besides actively working with third-party developers to create unique unannounced entries, Sony has now also established a new internal PlayStation studio in Los Angeles to develop an AAA project in a whole new first-party IP.

Why it matters: Out of nowhere, Sony has assembled a new team to develop a AAA title in a new franchise in Los Angeles. The game appears to be a PS5 exclusive that is being developed using a highly efficient method.
