Few companies in the games industry have the sort of treasure trove of IPs that PlayStation does, as evidenced by the vast amount of beloved Sony properties that have been dormant for prolonged periods. Demand for a great many of those franchises to come back rarely ever ebbs. While Sony hasn’t consistently hinted at bringing some of those properties back, it seems like a couple such revivals might actually be in the works at PlayStation.

That’s as per journalist Andy Robinson. During a recent episode of the VGC podcast, Robinson claimed that PlayStation has “a couple” of revivals in the works for “deep cut” properties. Though he did not name any specific names, he also added that they will be “smaller” titles that Sony intends to use to “supplement” its release schedule. 

Whether that means Sony may have relatively fewer bigger releases planned for the coming years remains to be seen. As things stand right now, the company has titles such as Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach lined up for release in 2025, while games such as Intergalactic, Marvel’s Wolverineand others are also in the works. The company has also said it intends to release major single-player titles every year going forward.

Recently, PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst also touched on the company’s roster of inactive legacy IPs, indicating that revivals for some might not be completely off the table. Read more on that through here.
