Recent leaks have claimed that a new Astro Bot game is going to be unveiled soon and released exclusively for PS5 later in the year.
The game will allegedly be titled simply Astro Bot, and will be available for PlayStation 5, but not for PS VR2.
A recent leak claimed that the Silent Hill 2 remake would be showcased at a PlayStation-focused event in May.
The company said earlier this year that it wouldn't be releasing any new instalments in existing major franchises until at least April 2025.
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.
