Key information
Rumors indicate that Sony intends to revive several dormant intellectual properties, including Ape Escape, Sly Cooper, and Killzone. Regarding the rumored new Ape Escape, reports and industry speculation point to Evening Star as the external developer handling the project, while explicitly ruling out Team Asobi.
Journalist Jeff Gerstmann stated that he heard Evening Star is working on the title, though it is not ready for immediate presentation or release. Gerstmann noted he received the information around the time the project received a green light, suggesting it has roughly a year of development behind it.
Additional speculation from the community stems from social media posts by Hunter Bridges, co-founder and executive producer at Evening Star, who moved to Japan recently and is a known fan of the franchise. Furthermore, the studio previously sought a 3D artist experienced in anime-style characters.
