IGN has published its regular check-in on Sony's PlayStation Studios, surveying what each first-party developer is working on roughly halfway through 2026. The overview matters because 2026 has been a quiet year for first-party output, with only Housemarque's shooter Saros released so far, and because the studio landscape has shrunk following the closure of Bluepoint Games and the apparent shuttering of Dark Outlaw Games. It also arrives against the backdrop of Sony's decision to end disc production from January 2028, raising questions about physical releases for upcoming titles.

Naughty Dog remains focused on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, its first new IP since 2013, starring Tati Gabrielle and featuring a score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, though little gameplay has been shown and a second unannounced project is reportedly also in development. Santa Monica Studio has confirmed its next title as God of War Laufey, centring on Kratos's wife Faye as she battles gods from multiple mythologies in a story running parallel to 2018's God of War. The article continues through further PlayStation studios, though the excerpt provided cuts off before covering the rest.
