2023 was by all accounts a landmark year in gaming, with masterpieces like Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3 dropping left and right. If this morning’s 2024 Sony earnings call was any indication, though, the coming year will be far dryer by comparison.
Sayahiko Hayakawa, the general manager of Sony’s finance department, stated in the meeting the company doesn’t plan on releasing “any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year,” referencing both God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man as two of those major franchises. The next fiscal year begins this April and doesn’t end until March 2025, so PlayStation gamers will have more than a year to wait before seeing the next big Sony release.
