If we listen to what the co-CEO of Sony’s PlayStation division, Herman Hulst, says, there is hope to see more games based on the company’s forgotten IPs or intellectual properties, such as Ape Escape or Twisted Metal.
This executive commented on this in an interview conducted by a well-known Japanese media. There he talked about the importance of old and new series, which should be paid attention to.
What Hulst commented was ‘the various IPs we own are an important element for PlayStation, and as part of our efforts to strengthen our portfolio, we are continually looking for opportunities to build on past series and develop new franchises.’

They did not elaborate further on the matter but it is clear that they have a great legacy of inactive intellectual properties that have not had a new release in several years.

Some don’t understand why PlayStation didn’t decide to take advantage of Peacock’s new Twisted Metal series to launch a video game in the franchise. This series, like Ape Escape, has been abandoned for years. The last Twisted Metal game came out in 2012 and Ape Escape in 2010.
Also other franchises have not seen new installments for a long time. The last Jak and Daxter came out in 2009, Infamous in 2014 and Sly Cooper in 2013.
Without leaving aside role-playing titles like Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon. One of the most recent games on the PlayStation 5, Astro Bot, came to remind many players that there are several Sony intellectual properties that have not seen a new installment in years.
Sony, apparently over time, gives greater priority to the most successful franchises and new ones. That has been his way of working that has given him good results.
