Sony has confirmed that it doesn’t have any plans to release any new entries in its existing major franchises – the likes of your God of Wars and your Marvel’s Spider-Mans – between April 2024 and March 2025.
Don’t worry though, there is some context to that admission that might help you understand the likely reasons why it set be the case, rather than being anything that should be a real cause for concern. All you have to do is delve into the wonderful world of Sony’s latest financial results call.
In the company’s discussion of its fortunes (thanks, VGC) during the three month period that finished on December 31, 2023, Hiroki Totoki – Sony’s president, COO and CFO – revealed that: “While major projects are currently under development, we do not plan to release any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year like God of War: Ragnarok and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.”
