Forums - Sony Discussion - PS5 Launch Lineup / Current Studio Projects

The Microsoft thread was pretty cool - so setting up a similar one for Sony.

Below are what I know / think the first party studios are working on - and about what window I think they'll release.

I expect the PS5 to release in Spring / Fall of 2020 - so the launch lineup may include:

  • Death Stranding
  • Horizon: Zero Dawn Sequel
  • Last of Us:  Part II
  • FFVII Remake
  • Ghost of Tsushima
Some, if not all of these titles will probably be cross-gen with the PS4 - and hopefully PS5 is backwards compatible with all PS4 games.

 

Should also note some 2nd/3rd party studios are working on some Sony exclusives, including:

Insomniac  Spider-man 2 Spring 2021

Kojima Productions Death Stranding   Spring 2020

Quantic Dream ??? (New Cage Project) Fall 2021

Wild Sheep Studios Wild Fall 2019

From Software Bloodborne 2 Spring 2021

Square Enix FFVII Remake Fall 2020

Studio Next Project Release Window

Bend Days Gone SPRING 2019

Japan Studio ??? (Bloodborne 2? Ueda's Next Game?) 2019

London Blood & Truth SPRING 2019

Manchester  PSVR Games 2019

San Diego MLB: Show SPRING 2019

Santa Monica God of War 2 FALL 2021

Guerrilla Horizon Zero Dawn 2 FALL 2020

Media Molecule Dreams SPRING 2019

Naughty Dog Last of Us: Part II SPRING 2020

Polyphony Digital Gran Turismo 7 FALL 2020

Pixelopus Concrete Genie SPRING 2019

Sucker Punch Ghost of Tsushima FALL 2020

I'm questioning what they would allow to release all at once. Would they let 3 heavy hitters release all at once, even at launch? I feel like they might let two launch with it, but that would be the max.



Owner of PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Switch, PS Vita, and 3DS

Yeah the way things are falling are going to hit the ground running which they didn't with the ps3 or ps4 although ps4 sales were still good
If they have death stranding, ff7R, spiderman 2, gow2, tlou2, gta6, ghost of tsutshima, horizon 2, ratchet and clank and gran tourism 7 all in the first 2 years they would seriously want to be producing 30m consoles per year because along with all the other 3rd party titles and first party it will sell that especially if they launch at 399$.



I actually wouldn't be shocked if Horizon 2 is a launch-game



horizon 2 could really be a ps5 launch game, but i think SE will release FFVIIR still for ps4, as they will release this game for the biggest userbase of hardware



Around the Network

I don't know, I have a feeling that the Last of Us: Part II will be the last big PS4 release (like the original was for the PS3) and it may get a a remaster on the PS5. However that all depends on when the PS5 comes out. I have a feeling that we will get the PS5 in holiday 2020 and The Last of Us: Part II in the same time of year as the first game in 2020.



I have a feeling Naughty Dog are taking longer than anticipated, as they are planning a new IP to release on the PS5.



We also got confirmation that supermassive games is working on multiple PS exclusives, maybe a VR game and maybe a big game like until dawn. So we might see those release next to launch or at launch. Maybe even cross gen

Really hope one of them is an Until Dawn sequel.  I think it's one of PS4's hidden gems and surprised a lot of people when it came out.  Sony really underestimated this game and it could have done so much better had they marketed it more.



I'm thinking launch holiday 2020 too. In terms of launch/first next gen game for each Sony studio and there likely third party partnerships:

Launch: 

Insomniac: Ratchet and Clank - good action platformer game that appeals to all ages. Franchise isn't getting dated thanks to the gameplay focusing on guns and action, and the remake of the first game was popular, so I think it's a good fit for launch.

Guerilla: Horizon 2 - will be nearly four years since the first game in late 2020. Think that is just enough time for the sequel. Could be a big system seller

Then after that, the next projects I see in terms of exclusives

First Party:

Santa Monica: God of War 2

Naughty Dog: New IP

Media Molecule: New IP

Polyphony: Gran Turismo 7 (with big offline career mode making a return)

Japan Studio: Two new IPS, one regular, one VR

Sucker Punch: Ghosts of ________. Might be Tsushima 2, but I have a small feeling they might move the setting around as a theme, like Ass Creed

Sony Bend: depends on Days Gone sales. if not, new IP or Socom reboot

PixelOpus: new IP, AA

London: god knows.

San Diego: MLB

San Diego 2: Sony's new studio that is rumoured to be working alongside a major first party studio. Most likely continuing the Uncharted franchise with Naughty Dog overseeing

And Sony's partners: 

Insomniac: Spidey 2

Bluepoint: going to keep pumping out classic remasters

Gen Design: think this will be exclusive. Looking forward to seeing what Ueda has come up with now

From Software: unsure about the likelihood, but I think the desire will be there from Sony at least to get an exclusive from them, and they have a good relationship with Miyazaki now

Supermassive: another game in the vein of Until Dawn

Quantic Dream: have a feeling they might go multiplatform next gen, but if not we know what kind of thing to expect
