But what about all the other studios?

It’s been a long time coming, but we should see Naughty Dog’s multiplayer game set in The Last of Us’ world this year.

Insomniac, Firesprite, and Guerrilla are accounted for, but will we see anything else from PlayStation Studios in 2023? It’s not out of the question for Sony to reveal a game and release it in the same year, but taking into account when these teams last put out games, some seem more likely than others. Naughty Dog just launched its The Last of Us Part I remake last year, but that was also part of a collaborative effort between it and Sony support teams. The team has confirmed it will be revealing the long-awaited multiplayer game—which it separated from The Last of Us Part II’s story campaign—in 2023, but it remains to be seen if it will actually launch.

As for other studios, Asobi has been pretty quiet since 2020’s Astro’s Playroom was a PS5 pack-in. Bend Studio has been in the news a lot as discussion around its 2019 PS4 game Days Gone and its creative director’s Twitter rants have revealed the studio is working on a new IP rather than a sequel, but the studio still seems a ways away from releasing a new game. Bluepoint Games’ last project was the 2020 Demon’s Souls remake, which was also before it was acquired by Sony in 2021. The studio was mostly known for its work on remasters and ports, but it is now working on an original game. Housemarque’s last project was Returnal, which is coming to PC by way of Climax Studios, though the team did support the game into 2022 with new modes and content.
