Though Sony has said it won't be releasing any new instalments in major first-party franchises until next year, an Astro Bot game does seem to be on the docket.
Astro Bot developer Team Asobi has been working on an unannounced PS5 title since at least 2021.
A new job listing reveals that Team Asobi is looking for a producer work an external studio on an unannounced mobile game.
Ratchet, Clank, Astro Bot and Sackboy look to infuse a lot of Sony-branded IPs in the fifth season of the hit game. There's also some Disney mixed in with The Jungle Book.
Sony appears to be the king of a burgeoning market segment.
