Knack III, obviously.
I, for one, would be genuinely very excited about this!
It is not, first of all Knack was never extremely popular, second of all, it wouldn't be a return as the series is very recent.
So many things it could be. Sony have a massive library of past game IPs they could make games for, whether via their own studios or commissions.
Killzone
Infamous
Resistance
Would love one of those
all would make great games for the PS5
Maybe Singstar?
White Knight Chronicles, Arc the Lad?
Sly, Syphon Filter, or Jak
Metal Gear Solid Plz
Without knowing what "extremely popular" is defined by them, who's to say. I'm still hoping for a return of The Legend of Dragoon or Jak and Daxter. Maybe Dark Cloud.
Oh please dear god make it Resistance.
Other options i would be excited about are:
Jak & Daxter
Sly Cooper
Uncharted
Twisted Metal
InFAMOUS
Sly, Jak and Daxter, Legend of Dragoon, etc. So many possibilities.
I’m guessing SOCOM.
Extremely popular? Which game will it be?
Who hasn't announced any new projects as of late,
Sucker Punch?
Naughty Dog both just released 2020 games,
Santa Monica and guerilla just released forbi west and soon ragnarok
Whos next in line?
Guerilla has been working on a multiplayer title for over 3 years now. Lot of rumors point to it being a SOCOM title.
If we assume "Extremely Popular" is not an overstatement, then the only Sony series that really qualify are God of War, Gran Turismo, Last of Us, Marvel's Spider-Man, Uncharted. Maybe Horizon and Ratchet & Clank also. My condolences to
Technically, it's possible that this is just referring to God of War Ragnarok, since they never specified it was an unannounced game. Barring that and the other big games from 2021 and 2022, that leaves The Last of Us, Spider-Man, and Uncharted.
I doubt they're releasing Uncharted 5 or something like that the same year we're getting the PS5 version of Uncharted 4. That leaves The Last of Us (which I can imagine getting a standalone expansion a la 2014's Left Behind) or Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The latter could be possible given the 4 year development cycle of the original, and the former would have a relatively significant 2+ year gap since TLOU2.
Could be the getaway, PaRappa the Rapper, jaks and Dexter
Has to be Twisted Metal, goes with the show.
wished they would bring back the getaway
Syphon filter, or possibly splinter cell as sony exclusive
Possibilities, bear in mind they don't mention if its a PS exclusive
-Dark Cloud
-Silent Hill
-Ninja Gaiden
-Motorstorm
-Resistance
-SSX
-Prince of Persia
-Splinter Cell
Jersey Devil?
Shame it said Series as I know am in the minority but I would so love a sequel to the order 1886, such a great game just really short but one can dream they might make it
Ape Escape?
Confirmed: Blasto is coming back. Billy West will do his Phil Hartman impression.
Super hyped for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale 2.
I know there's been rumors for months now about a new Sly Cooper game! Hopefully that's what Sucker Punch has been working on since completing Ghost of Tsushima! :)
A sequel to the critically acclaimed Life of Black Tiger?
Uncharted - Not possible, the team just finished last of us 2, and the new game is reportedly 70% complete already.
Jak & daxter - Could be, was never extremely popular tough
Killzone - Not a chance, the team just finished Horizon forbidden West, and the new game is supposedly 70% complete, even if they have a second team, that would be a massive game with a need for the whole team to work on it.
Infamous - That would be really great as I love the series and loves infamous second son, not sure if it can be considered a return, because the last one is still recent, it came out on ps4. The word return means a ps1, ps2 or ps3 series.
