I think this will be a sister studio for naughty dog. There has to be a second game in the works at naughty Dog.. What is Josh Scher, writer at naughty doing? he is not involved with TLoU2, and the ad specifically mentions Collaborating with a major studio.. I think we might be getting another Uncharted

But on the other hand SONY I get it why u are building studio in US around big developers, But why on earth did you close down Guerrilla cambridge?? You should have given them a chance to make KILLZONE MERCENARIES 2

This combined with maybe a new purchase as well; Bluepoint perhaps?

It seems this new studio is more of a support studio. Right?

I think this new studio is part of Sony's plan to prepare for the PS5. I still think Fall 2020 is the best time unless a competitor makes a surprise move. Fall 2020 would be enough time for a sequel to Horizon: Zero Dawn to not be rushed as a PS5 exclusive launch title.

I heard that the next Horizon has only just begun being created a month or so ago. I don't have faith it could make any launch window.

Frozen Wilds was released on November 7th, 2017, but the original game released in March 2017 there is no way after the success of ZD that they hadn't started pre-production in probably May 2017... while part of the team worked on Frozen Wilds. Not all of them would have worked on DLC.

Now taking that into consideration... by March 2019 that will be two years working on the game, and at least another 7 months for a launch around October 2019. Now assuming a console launch of 2019, I think its tight but with the engine already done, I dont see it as a big problem. Doing it as a duel launch with TLOU2... that would be enough of a great lineup along with Knack 3 :D

But yes 2020 would certainly allow more time to make a bigger wider changing game than 1. Personally I believe a 2020 release of the next console, and that would give a few studios enough time to get started on their next projects.

I... don't get why they close some studios and then open new ones.

They have run down Psygnosis/studio liverpool and yet here they are opening new studios. I like tat theres new studios but i don't get how not to try and salvage what you got rather than open a new one.

Cause business......thats how it works, you find redundancies, get rid of them, and poor performing divisions and double down on what is working...They don;t do it for a laugh.

More like Infamous 4 - Cole's story is done, it's Delsin that still has space for a sequel though... kinda.
