If the mandatory overtime is true then it means they're targeting Q2 2027. I'm imagining PS6 having a launch line up of: Astrobot 2 (all games cross gen/promoted alongside handheld) GT8 (began development in 2023) /or Sony Santamonica game. |
Astro Bot is a very possible PS6 launch game candidate.
There is no way Sony holds GT8 to a launch windown, it'll release when it does, GT6 released 1 month after the PS4, as a PS3 exclusive, PD does what it wants.
I also doubt a Santa Monica game will be held for a launch windown and not release exactly when it should, Sony wouldn't hold their second biggest studio over a system launch, they never did, and likely never will. GoW Ascension and TLoU also released as PS3 exclusives in the year the PS4 released.
Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and Polyphony Digital are studios I think will never have launch games, that's not how they roll, and Sony mostly doesn't care about holding massive games for the launch.
After Guerilla Games became one of their highest budgeted studios with Horizon, I also find it hard to believe they would have a launch game, even as when they did once, with Killzone Shadowfall for the PS4.
Team Asobi and Insomniac having games for the launch are way likely. I think Bend, Media Molecule and Sucker Punch are possible candidates, and as I expect the PS6 to release November 2028, Sucker Punch would have time for a game to be there, if they were already working on it by the end of Ghost of Yotei cycle.
