Where are the games from Sony's studios? Bluepoint, Santa Monica, Bend Studio, Insomniac's Wolverine. Are these studios on pause? Bend Studio and Bluepoint haven't released anything in 5 and 6 years, and we have no news about the next game from these studios. I apologize for my English; I am Brazilian. |
Sony Management provided additional resources for live service game development. A bunch of studios decided to work on them because of this. Bend themselves rejected working on a Days Gone 2 sequel (which would've been out by now) and instead pursed a live service title. Bluepoint are working on other games, supposedly, so dropping the live service title isn't such an issue.
Not sure why you bring up Santa Monica and Insomniac though. Ragnarok released only 3 years ago. Their GoW spinoff is due next year and, and their next major game could be 2026/ 2027. Wolverine is expected 2026. Could be 2027. And they're rumoured to still be working on a Venom game and have plans for X-Men titles.
Besides the longer development times for AAA games, and the live service push not working out as expected, Sony have also moved to a shorter announcement to release window for their games (not in all cases), so in general there just isn't a lot of news about their studios.
Anyways, we have Lost Souls Aside, Midnight Murder Club and Ghost of Yotei release in a few months, granted only Yotei is from a Sony studio itself but that seems neither here not there as far as I am concerned. Sony are still funding and releasing games from studios they partner with, which is also adds to their output.
