Forums - Sony - RUMOR:: SOCOM 5 in development from Guerilla Games' second studio, to be PS5 launch title

Sony may be gearing up to announce a new SOCOM game for PS5, hints a new leak. The game could potentially join the several other confirmed PS5 exclusives, such as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West, which were announced at the console reveal event in June.

A new leak from 4chan has fans thinking that a new SOCOM game could be announced for PS5 soon. An anonymous leaker hid the game's name in their message, by capitalizing some words in the middle of a sentence. The leaker has capitalized the letter "S" in "Sure," the letter "O" in "Or" and the last three letters of "GamesCOM" to spell out the popular military shooter series.

The reason that so many fans have been quick to think that this leak is the real deal is that the same poster has been right about two other things in the last 24 hours. On August 2, the leaker said that Sony would announce another State of Play event on August 3, which the company did. That leak also said that it would be "less like other State of Plays" and would not feature the PS5 price or release date. Sony has confirmed that there will be no big PS5 announcements at the event, which all goes with what the leaker has said.

Please not another Killzone, those games are trash. Nobody cared when it launched with the PS4, and nobody cares about it now.

lol I actually really enjoyed KZ shadowfall. It started off slow but once the story really unfolds it's pretty good. I agree though I don't need another Killzone game we can move on from that series.

Meh, I'd rather they made a new IP than a new Socom or KZ. Neither are anywhere near appealing anymore.
A new IP with their experience post-Horizon would be very welcomed.

This GG making a Socom is old news, and kinda strange.

I think it's a KZ game. Hopefully like 2 considering KZ2 is probably the best console MP for an fps.

That’s a bold claim to say the least. 

Hardly. KZ2 had brilliant multiplayer.

MW2, World at War (Zombies), Halo 2, KZ2 and now Warzone would be my overall favourite console FPS multiplayer games over the years.

So... 2020 or 2021 launch?

Also, please don't lie in your OP. Some people cared about Killzone when it launched for PS4, I should know I was one of them!

I soooo badly miss that *beep* from a kill. I yearn for that satisfaction. Probably the most mp fun I've had all gen, even though it wasn't as good as KZ2 or KZ3 mp.

If you say so. How many multiplayer modes/playlists does it have? I remember the graphics and the campaign being praised, not so much the multiplayer. I certainly would bet that Halo 3 has a overall better package.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

On the contrary, the multiplayer was highly praised on release.

"Killzone 2 boasts a single-player campaign that is every bit as much fun as the multiplayer - and that is truly a rarity."

"An addictive multiplayer mode"

 "The multiplayer mode you can play for months combined make Killzone 2 a true FPS-classic"

"But perhaps the strongest segment of the game is the extremely deep multiplayer"

"A compelling "Call of Duty"-style multiplayer"

"The Multiplayer side is equally strong (even more)"

"The multiplayer and overall stunning presentation should earn Killzone 2 a spot on any gamer’s shelf"

"Excellent multiplayer"

"As a delicious dessert you'll get the multiplayer, which is so addictive that it almost turns into the most important part of the game"

"The multiplayer is perfect"

It had 32 players, 14 maps, 7 classes, 5 game types, bots, clans, abilities, tournaments.

That's entirely subjective though. I think KZ2 multiplayer was better than Halo 3's. (I think Halo 2's multiplayer was better than KZ2)

They should remake a warhawk for ps5 free to play. That shit was impressive back in the day, but came out in the early days of online console gaming, no youtube/twitch streaming to make it massive. I look at fornite and shake my head. Warhawk kills it.

I’d be excited if it were true, even if Sony ruined SOCOM 4 by making Zipper Call of Duty the game all up. It’s my favorite MP franchise ever, SOCOM and SOCOM II are two of the best MP games ever made.

I don’t get people saying times have changed, there are plenty of tactical MP shooters out there today. Including Rainbow Six. They could GaaS it all up and it would do fine assuming it has the classic SOCOM gameplay.

woah this is great news,
ive heard of how great SOCOM was and hopefully will regain its lost glory!

SOCOM, the franchise that has died since the PS2 era and people think that now is the time to revive it when the trends in shooters have changed ?! Nonetheless, the existence of COD is prolly sufficient to Sony to not actually make this decision.

I'd say there's more chance from a 2nd studio to work with a new KZ than SOCOM for now.

Also, you think that as a launch window title, it would have been showcased by now, no ?

Honestly, it's one of those rumors which won't pan out for much.

Not me, Killzone sucks, I'd much rather have a new SOCOM, and I know I'm not alone on that one.

Sony knows this. SOCOM has much more appeal potential for their new console, hence more sales, especially with the bigger multiplayer market that exists today, so I'd be willing to bet it's that, which the latest 4chan leak lends credence to this.
