Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan speaking during a Sony business briefing revealed PlayStation plans to release two unannounced live service games by the end of the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2023.
"Destiny is not included in the three games slated for FY22," said Ryan. "The two others are yet to be announced."
Ryan did say he considers MLB The Show 22 as a live service game, which he describes as "games with no end."
Sony previously stated it plans to launch over 10 live service games by 2026. However, it now plans to release 12 by the end of fiscal year 2025. This includes three this year, three in 2023, four in 2024, and two in 2025.
With MLB The Show considered a live service game and getting an annual release this leaves seven other games planned to release by 2025 that will be a live service.
An analyst during the Sony business briefing asked Ryan if one of the two unannounced live service games included a Destiny game from Bungie, which Sony is in the middle of acquiring for $3.6 billion.

Its going to be a quite summer but the second half of the year is going to be extremely. I imagine TLOU Factions is this Holiday, another game then in Q1

Not all live service games are bad. Infact some of the best experiences are achieved with online games.
But wouldn`t TLOU Faction count as announcet?
The game (especially in its current state as a standalone title) has never been announced by Sony. I think ND originally mentioned it prior to TLOU2's release, then it was assumed it would be part of TLOU2 and not an actual game announcement
Yep I got corrected in the Nation thread, ND casually mentioned Factions, but never have a formal announcement, so it would be fair game for it to be counted among the 2,
