They are a two project production studio these days yeah? Regardless, looking forward to what they have been cooking.

Makes sense. With the way certain plot points in Ragnarok felt rushed (given that it was originally a trilogy), I wouldn't blame them if they're desperate to work on a new IP at this point lol

Will be definitely keen to see what new IP these teams, including SSM, come up with. Really would love to see a new IP from Sucker Punch but Ghosts was too successful for them to ignore as a franchise.. that western concept art looked cool.

Huh, never seen that before. When is it from?
I think these came out in 2017 or so (so the concepts were prob from before then, maybe after Second Son shipped). Maybe got cancelled bc of RDR2 or Days Gone pressure or Tsushima just won out. Who knows. But RDR2 is the only major open world western game I can think of and there could be more!

Sucker Punch? That was "Prophecy" and its test footage already leaked a few years ago


I guess Sony thought it was too close to The Order

Oh neat. Makes sense why I hadn't seen it then, I was PC only until this gen. Would like to see something new from them after GoT2.

Hmm. Maybe. But it also looks like it might've moved from a straight western game to some kind of alt-history Japanese colonialism into the western US or something. Nothing really looks that exciting from this prototype to me personally, but you can also see where they took some ideas/work and put it into Tsushima next.

I wouldn't mind them going full assassin's creed with Ghost and setting each entry in a different country/time period. Dunno how long they want to stick with the series but it could help keep things fresh

Very excited if it's Cory getting to do his own I.P, really excited to see what he'd direct that was fully his vision from the get go.

It's been obvious for years that Cory Barlog's game would be a new IP, but nonetheless I find it a bit creepy trawling through people's LinkedIn profiles for hints on what they're working on.

Yeah we all kinda knew about Cory's ip. We also knew about the other ip that was cancelled, the space one, cause Sony thought it was too similar to Destiny or something like that. Looking back, maybe they should have stuck with it

Curious to see what Barlog has been cooking for the past half decade. Hopefully the Sci-Fi/Horror rumors turn out to be true.

Thought this was clear since Cory said at the 2021 showcase that he is working on something other than Ragnarök.

Guess there was a slight chance on him still working on God of War or another existing IP, but always thought that's very unlikely.

The rumor swirling around was that it was a Sci-Fi game right? I hope that's true, that would be so hype, I want it to be a Space Opera Action Game/RPG.

I think the sci-fi rumours mostly just come from Cory being a big sci-fi fan, I don't think anything has actually leaked on what it might be, just stuff like this were it seems like they have a new I.P in development and Cory talking about how he wants to do his own I.P in a interview post God of War (2018).
