PlayStation has revealed that it plans for half of its releases to be new IP by🦩 2025.

As revealed in the company's latest , PlayStation Studios plans to invest 50% into new IPs, instead of existing properties. In the document, Sony reveals that, back in the fiscal year 2019, 80% of its investments were for existing IP, with only 20% going toward new IP. This figure has grown to 40% in FY23, but PlayStation plans to extend this even more to 50% in FY25.&n𓆏bsp;

What this means is that we could be seeing more original PlayStation IPs which will be developed by one of many PlayStation-owned developers. An equal amount of investment will also be going into existing IPs, meaning there's still room for things like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon 3, The Last of Us P🍎art 3, or any other potential sequels, spin-offs, or remakes Sony wants to release. 

This isn't the only way that PlayStation aims to expand its ever-growing library. The slide after the one outlined above also explores Sony's plans outside of games. For instance, Sony wants to "broaden [its] franchise awareness" and "give existing fans more ways to engage" with things like movies, T🐻V series, experiences (such as the recently revealed ), and merchandise. 

Since PlayStation Studios is responsible for a lot of fan-favorite properties - like Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, or God of War - it's exciting to think that the company p🌞lans to invest in even more new IPs in the future. 

In fact, there's a high chance we could be seeing some new Sony IP later today during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation Showcase May 2023. We've already been promised over an hour's worth of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PSVR 2 content so let's keep our fingers crossed for some very new and very exciting 🐓reveals.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I꧒ was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especi🎐ally in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
