Sony has long accumulated an impressive catalog of franchises that many players still consider underrated. Interest in old series was particularly noticed after Astro Bot, which actively used references to PlayStation classics. Back in late 2024, Hermen Hulst said that the company was exploring opportunities to develop old brands in parallel with new franchises.
Now, this information has been indirectly confirmed by insider NateTheHate. According to him, Sony is "exploring and considering" the return of some old and long-unused brands.
Specific projects have not yet been named, and there is no talk of an official announcement yet. However, this was enough to reignite discussions online about Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, Jak and Daxter, Resistance, and Sly Cooper. The source emphasizes that for now, everything remains at the rumor level.
