Sony’s local studio has geared up in the past few years, and they have more ideas to keep the games going.

Bloodborne, Gravity Rush Remastered, The Tomorrow Children, The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2 – just a few of the projects they were involved with, and there’s still Knack 2 and Everybody’s Golf in the works. They don’t seem to take a break. The senior vice president, Allen Becker, said the following to IGN:

„At Japan Studio I think we have a lot of talented people, but for whatever reason, I think we fell behind regarding technology, and that started way back in the PS2 days and PS3. Japan Studio wasn’t producing that many titles. And so with PS4, we’re starting to build the technology back up.

Without having to state too much more, with Gravity Rush 2 finishing up and The Last Guardian finishing up, we reached this big milestone within Japan Studio, and so finally we feel like we’re free to do new things. We’re going to finish up Knack 2 as well, so, as for the internal team, they’re much more freed up, so we are thinking about starting up several new titles.” One of these ideas is the remake of Shadow of the Colossus, which is co-developed with Bluepoint.

Shuhei Yoshida also chimed in: „We always wanted, and continue to want, to create new IP and try new things. So from the management standpoint, I like to see pretty much equal effort we make on continuing on popular IPs like Gran Turismo or Hot Shots Golf and the Uncharted series or to create new IP, Horizon and things like that. We have always wanted to do that because we are fans of coming up with new ideas and supporting new creatives. So we’ve been doing that for the last 20 years.”

So, more „local” games are on the way. That’s never a bad idea.
