“Wouldn’t it be more competitive to announce an onslaught of heavy hitters for next year though?”
Exactly! Sony´s lack of games on Playstaton showcase has nothing to do with the ABK´s deal.
CMA already decided that deal won´t hurt the console market which is Sony´s main concern.
Playstation Studios has nothing in their game development roadmap beyond Spider-Man 2 which it´s the only PS5 first party game to be released this years.
Studios are getting closed, games been canceled, Angie Smets and Bungie´s rumored new role is axing studios and games that don´t fit their quality standards. Even Naughty Dog is rumored to be affected and Factions 2 can be canceled after all those years.
Bottom line is that at Playstation Studios things aren´t going as well as planned as some people desperately want to believe.
If things at XGS is equally mess up as it has been since 2021, we´ll know in two weeks.
