Once upon a time, Sony’s Japan Studios were the crown jewel in their first party development. That has sadly not been the case for the longest time, now, but in recent years, they’ve begun finding their footing again. Just in the last year, The Last Guardian was great, and Gravity Rush 2 was pretty damn good as well.
And now, it looks like the studio is finally ready to begin development on new games. In an interview with IGN Japan Studio’s Senior Vice President Allan Becker said, “Without having to state too much more, with Gravity Rush 2 finishing up and The Last Guardian finishing up, we reached this big milestone within Japan Studio, and so finally we feel like we’re free to do new things. We’re going to finish up Knack 2 as well, so, as for the internal team, they’re much more freed up, so we are thinking about starting up several new titles.”
One of the games that we know that Japan Studio is working on beyond Knack is Shadow of the Colossus for the PS4- but what else could they possibly have in the works for us? Hopefully a Bloodborne sequel?
