Rumour: Sony ‘Accepting Game Pitches’ on Fan Fave Franchises, First Wave Due Around PS6 Launch
Sony is reportedly accepting multiple game pitches for beloved legacy franchises, with the first wave of projects expected to launch around the PlayStation 6 release. The revelation comes from a recognized industry leaker with a credible track record, who previously accurately reported on God of War: Sons of Sparta.
Among the franchises reportedly receiving new game proposals are Killzone, Ape Escape, and Sly Cooper—all iconic PlayStation properties that have been dormant or underutilized in recent years. The rumor aligns with a recent surge in speculation about legacy series being revisited, particularly Killzone, which is reportedly in early development stages at developer People Can Fly.
The move suggests Sony is exploring ways to revitalize its back catalog of first-party franchises, potentially leveraging next-generation hardware capabilities. While details remain sparse, the pitch initiative indicates the company may be seeking fresh takes on classic properties that maintain strong nostalgic value among PlayStation’s longtime fanbase.
