Sony has announced a significant shift in its release strategy for the PlayStation this fiscal year, indicating that no new games in some of its biggest existing franchises will be released before it concludes in April 2025. This decision impacts several highly anticipated titles and franchises, including God of War,Marvel's Spider-Man, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Ratchet & Clank, Horizon, and potentially Ghost of Tsushima.

As reported by Gematsu, Hiroki Totoki, the president of Sony, highlighted that while major projects are in development, fans should not expect new entries in these beloved series until after this period.

However, this doesn't affect the release of PC ports of existing games within these franchises, new intellectual properties, or titles from smaller franchises. Sony has recently expressed its commitment to producing high-quality works and developing live service games, with fresh IP like the multiplayer shooter Concord by Firesprite and the anticipated remaster and PC port of Until Dawn still on the agenda for release within this timeframe.
