WTF? I'm a bit late to this news but just saw it and can't believe it. I assumed they would be co-developing the God of War remake trilogy.
It's sad to see how inept Sony is.
They released two remakes, Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls which both have over a 90 on Metacritic. After the release of Demon's Souls (PS5 launch title) they assisted with God of War Ragnarök and were developing a live service God of War game that was cancelled early last year.
How does Sony have nothing for them? They could be remastering games, remaking a beloved classic, supporting another studio.. this is ridiculous.
I wonder where this leaves Media Molecule. Their last release is Dreams, something that should have been a huge hit under a capable publisher. They want so desperately to compete in live service yet threw Dreams under the bus when it could serve as a higher quality version of Roblox. In 2026 games are still being made for Dreams and going viral but Sony couldn't be bothered to put it on PS5 or PC.
Check out Trip's Voyage and Banjo-Kazooie: Mumbomania to see what Dreams can do.
Here's a Crash Bandicoot level made in Dreams this week:

Will Firesprite release another game? Their take on Twisted Metal was cancelled.
There's also Valkyrie Entertainment which seems like a pretty under the radar team, if they can shut down a notable team what about this one?
Haven seems like it will be allowed to at least release Fairgame$ before they get shutdown weeks after.
