I think this is emblematic of the game development atmosphere as a whole. The PS5 'must-plays' are mostly rereleases and multiplats.

I'm hoping Sony studios have a lot of good things cooking behind the scenes, they're just taking their time.

No new releases from Naughty Dog partnered with big IPs like God of War and Horizon releasing early in the PS5's lifecycle with no news from those studios is really making it feel stagnant from a first party perspective. When you list out the releases, the slate doesn't look too bad; we have a new Spider-Man, Astro Bot and Helldivers were excellent surprises, and Ghost of Yotei is right around the corner. The issue for me is after Yotei releases, there isn't anything we are aware of that I can think of off the top of my head that's coming soon, except maybe Wolverine.

Intergalactic is obviously exciting, but there's no way that game is coming before 2027 (if not 2028 or beyond). Guerrilla is surely making a new Horizon game which COULD make next year, but we'll see. The PS5 release schedule has just felt pretty slow since 2022, and beyond 3rd party support, it doesn't feel like there is anything huge coming to give it momentum.
