Insomniac Games Is Working on Another AAA, Unannounced Game

It has been confirmed that the studio is working on an unannounced AAA title alongside both Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine.

-Foxtrot290d ago

I'm hoping it's not Marvel related and is a brand new original IP instead

excaliburps290d ago

I wouldn't put it past Sony to revive Resistance.

Reboot it, add a robust MP. Sony needs to churn out COD competition in case they get screwed over by MS.

Markdn290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

This I could be happy about.

Resistance and kilzone reboots are needed, then we can forget about that COD crap. Kill one shadow fall was an error because it's wasn't great, kz2 and kz3 were both awesome.

closed_account290d ago

@excaliburps @Markdn For sure. Doesn't even have to be a new one, just a reboot/reimagining could be amazing. The MP was actually quite good for its time. I always enjoyed Insomniac's crazy weapons.

-Foxtrot290d ago

Would be nice to have a reboot

Maybe do a Fall of Man reimagining and then for the sequels take the series on a different path

Would be nice to keep Nathan Hale as the main character for three games to develop the character, and if he can get over his infection they can develop his mutated powers more in forms of abilities and upgrades

darthv72290d ago

SSOD2.... I calling it now.

WelkinCole290d ago

The first one was so amazing. Remember 60vs games online and free as well

Then there is the SP game. One of those games that you feel like you are in a hopeless situation but still fight with your fellow men despite the odds. Then there were the weapons.

Really wish Sony would reboot it

neutralgamer1992289d ago

Don’t play with my emotions please. A proper resistance game like resistance 2 MP

My best memories of MP gaming were Killzone 2 warzone and resistance 2 (8 player co-op)

Mr_cheese289d ago

Resistance 2 multiplayer was fantastic!

Loved this series and would be all over a reboot

Bobertt287d ago

Remaster the first 3 and then make a 4th one where we get to go to the Chimera home world like we should of in 3.

@-Foxtrot Supposedly it’s a multiplayer game.

repsahj290d ago

Agree, and I hope it is a brand new IP as well.

ClayRules2012290d ago

Yes, I hope it’s a new IP. I want to see something fresh and new from them.

blackblades290d ago

Well actually from what I heard it was a Multiplayer Marvel game by them.

Flewid638289d ago

That would be dope. Ideally something third person with a cyberpunk themed setting.

One of the best and most efficient studio’s in the gaming industry. Hoping this this a brand new game that’s isn’t Marvel related. I’m all in for a surprise.

GaboonViper290d ago

Im hoping for Sunset Overdrive 2.

And you're bang on about Insomniac, one of gamings best.

Extermin8or3_290d ago

I don't see them doing anything with that IP again, it's also in a genre Sony don't really need anyone else working on a title in. Nah resistance would make the most sense tbh.

MontyeKristo290d ago

I loved the first Sunset, I'd be down for a sequel.

StarkR3ality290d ago

The fact you're only getting disagrees because the first one was Xbox exclusive hahaha, really fun game guys don't be fanboys.

Insomniac are next level, absolutely insane the amount of games they are putting out at the quality they are putting out.

Best dev team going around for me at this point in time, they deserve all the plaudits they get!!

ClayRules2012290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

Absolutely agree! Insomniac have truly shown themselves deserving of all the praise, respect and trust thats come their way. One of Sony’s best and finest teams, as well as in the industry today!

As a Sony/PlayStation it’s always appreciated when we as gamers get a little glimpse “Deep dive” of these dev’s and their game in studio. Behind the scenes of them in their element, creating, playing, explaining the new advancements in tech, gameplay etc is always a treat. But the best part is seeing how passionate these teams really are at what they do, loving and respecting video games and knowing how to make them great.

Insomniacs quality of work continues to get better across each new game, showing they’re not messing around and their fellow friends at the other Sony studios will have to BRING IT! Haha, and we know the other studios will bring their best, and it’ll just elevate each other, all in good fun no doubt. I know they all love supporting each other’s work, being amazed by what their respective teams achieve, and go back to their studios and strive to aim even higher, which is awesome. That friendly competition that brings the best out of all of them!

Aloymetal290d ago

100%! And to think that Sony got them practically for pennies. Deal of the century for them.

purple101290d ago

Its like a snowball you can't stop and keeps getting bigger.

That's insomniac right now.

ClayRules2012290d ago

They’re seriously amazing and on a roll this generation. The efficiency by which they work is so impressive.

RaidenBlack290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

Plz be a new IP or at least Resistance Reboot
But as many, are pointing out and given her, involvement in Blizzards eSports division, this might be the rumored live service/multiplayer project from Insomniac. Just a speculation for the time being.

purple101290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

If you look up zubytech on twitter, there is a list (semi accurate I presume) of all in development ps5 games.

Its a lot.

Its made up from ones we know, job listings on LinkedIn etc and rumours but overall it's very sensible. Check it out.

@Zuby_tech is the page.
He's an English journalist
Actually he was on Joe Rogan and it was a bloody good episode 1697 for those interested

Post was from 24th may if that helps find it.

Extermin8or3_290d ago

If its live service/multiplayer title then resistance is a decent bet the ip would suit such a model quite well I think and has history being a flagship multiplayer title that sony at the time actually did put out to compete with halo and COD and managed to sell well despite the competition. Its coop was second to none in resistance 2 so...

specialguest289d ago

Resistance was a very average game. The story was generic too. It doesn't need to come back. The only thing that was pretty cool were some of the weapons

ClayRules2012290d ago

I’d love a new IP. But I’m with you there Bro, a Resistance 4 on PS5, after all they’ve learned over the years and how they just get better and better, I would not complain if we got a Resistance 4 haha. I’d be extremely excited.

Profchaos290d ago

I'd love that but I think if we ever get to see resistance against it would be a reboot given the last time resistance was released it was a PS3 game given the lack of BC I'd say a good percentage of the PS community have never had the privilege of playing the games it would just be far to much of a barrier of entry unless there's a remaster of the first 3 and spin offs

Ninja Theory trends on X as gamers fear for studio following Tango Gameworks closure

Following the closure of 4 studios, many are now worried for the future of Ninja Theory once Hellblade 2 is released.

How is it going to sell well when it's also releasing on gamepass 🤔

Sephiroushin1h ago

Meant better to sell the studio and not closing it 🤦🏻 not to sell more games….
and games are sold anyways, you can buy it on xbox (not recommended if you got gamepass) but many pc gamers prefer to buy on steam than deal with the xbox app or pc gamepass!

On a side note to OP, the sales of studios wont happen though, especially when they want to retain the IPs, and well nobody is gonna buy a studios without its IPs; the other publishers that want a certain dev from the studio that are closing on their team can try to grab them as soon as they see they notice of the studio.

RaidenBlack16m ago(Edited 8m ago)

@Sephiroushin
Well hypothetically speaking, Ninja Theory can be sold to Sony at a lower rate sans the Hellblade IP.
Sony can then welcome them to work on the Heavenly Sword IP, which they still own.
Will be a nice proposition for Sony who can continue to offer a God of War-like hack n slash in their portfolio via Heavenly Sword 2, whilst Cory Barlog & co. decides to take a break from the God of War IP & venture some other genres.
On top of that, Ninja Theory was also interested in a sequel to Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and such Sony can come to a deal with Namco Bandai regarding the Enslaved IP.

Lightning7719h ago

Because they're next come next year. HB2 won't hit some impossible metric within MS so they're getting axed in 2025. Leave gaming now MS.

XiNatsuDragnel11h ago

Ninja theory might as well be gone in 2025 at this rate

notachance2h ago

Every xbox studio is in danger now because there’s just no way they’re gonna rake in big money from game sales because of gamepass, even CoD was rumored to not come to gamepass because it would canibalize their sales number.

neutralgamer19921h ago

If they are smart they don’t put COD on GP day one. It’s one of the best selling games on yearly basis

Hofstaderman48m ago

Satya will make sure that doesnt happen. As you rightly put it; why kill the cash cow?

But then again, it is MS after all.....

Rynxie2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Ninja theory games were never big sellers. I could be wrong, but I doubt hellblade 2 will sell millions. I would rather they go independent and make heavenly sword 2.

solideagle2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

heavenly sword is Sony owned IP. this will never happen as original didn't sell enough...

Wikipedia: "In 2008, it was reported that a sequel to Heavenly Sword was in-development at SCE Studio Cambridge, but was canceled due to Sony no longer seeing it as a commercially viable product"

EA says largest Battlefield team yet is building ‘another tremendous live service’

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”

Another? ANOTHER?

Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.

Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.

''is building ‘another tremendous LIE service’''

/Fixed

just_looken10h ago

This is nothing too new
https://www.eurogamer.net/e...

They had plans of a universe of live service games

Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team
https://www.eurogamer.net/t...

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned
https://gamerant.com/ea-bat...

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.

RaidenBlack1d 12h ago

Just make another Battlefield 2 ... or BadCompany 3 ... EA

XiNatsuDragnel1d 12h ago

Bad company 3 instead of live service bs

Relientk771d 12h ago

And already lost interest
