“Regarding first-party software, we aim to continue to focus on producing high-quality works and developing live service games,” Totoki said. “But while major projects are currently under development, we do not plan to release any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year likeGod of War RagnarokandMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.”
The two games Totoki highlighted there are definitely on the bigger scale of PS5 exclusive games. This doesn’t mean, for example, that the Until Dawn remaster won’t launch within the next year, and although Sony currently hasn’t outlined a release window for the horror game, it’s probably not in the same league of exclusivity as God of War or Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Totoki also added that profits from first-party sales are going to decrease in the coming fiscal year. That’s no great surprise because if you’re not launching a game on the scale of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which released just last October, you’re probably not going to be expecting vast profits at the same level.
