A rumor circulating on X, cited by user NateTheHate2, claims Sony is actively scouting older, unused IPs for revival. The suggestion is that any titles considered haven’t seen a sequel since the PS1, PS2, or possibly PS3 era. A separate leak points to a first franchise revisit already in development, but under a studio different from the original creator in the industry.

Industry commentator Jordan Miller mentioned on the VGC Podcast that an “inFamous thing” is brewing elsewhere at PlayStation, implying Sucker Punch won’t touch the project. He declined to name the studio, but hinted the effort will be a new entry rather than a straight remake. This comes just weeks after Bluepoint Games was shut down, a studio famed for high‑quality remasters.

If Sony proceeds, resurrecting dormant franchises could diversify the PlayStation lineup and give developers fresh material without building brands from scratch. Consumers may see familiar worlds refreshed for modern hardware, while the company tests market appetite before committing to larger, original projects. The next reveal will clarify whether the strategy targets nostalgia or a broader content pipeline.
