Sony Interactive Entertainment has reportedly opened its franchises to external studios, accepting proposals for new games based on classic properties including Sly Cooper, Ape Escape, and Killzone. Published on October 5, 2026, reports indicate that Sony is exploring licensing agreements to bring back historical franchises.
According to information shared by ResetEra user thisiserfan, these projects would be financed and published by PlayStation Studios while being developed externally, potentially with support or supervision from the original creators. While Sony is evaluating proposals, it does not necessarily mean all three franchises have approved games in production yet.
Insider NateTheHate also reported that Sony is exploring older properties, specifically pointing to Ape Escape, while rumors suggest a potential Killzone return via a collaboration with Guerrilla Games and an external team. The initiative could allow PlayStation to revive dormant series without pulling internal studios from their current workloads, with past titles dating back to 2013 releases like Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Killzone Shadow Fall.
Thisiserfan estimates that the first wave of this strategy might arrive around the launch of PS6, though there is currently no official confirmation from Sony.
