Soul Sacrifice co-developers at Sony Japan Studio are working on new PS4 title – report
Wed, Oct 09, 2013 | 09:30 BST

Sony Japan Studio’s internal team – dubbed ‘Japan Studio External Development Department’ – is said to be working on a new PS4 title.


The team are known within Sony Japan Studio as co-developers of Soul Sacrifice, Soul Sacrifice Delta and Rain, as well as incoming PS Vita releases Destiny of Spirits and Freedom Wars.

Siliconera reports – by way of Famitsu – that the team is said to be working on its very own PS4 project. While all of the titles listed above are collaborations of varying degrees, this new game appears to be entirely of the team’s own design. It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with.

If it is actually true of course, hence the report tag.

What do you think of the team’s output so far? Let us know below.

God damn it, GAF. 3 Demon's Souls posts already? It's gotta be FROMSOFT or nobody else.

Come on.

I hope it's a spin-off of SS on the PS4.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
So there's an XDEV Japan AND Liverpool? Or it just the collaborative name for the big studios of Japan and a different entity for XDEV EU? Sony Japan's studio structure confuses me. I assume they're not talking about Deep Down.

You do know that Japan Studio helped out on the original right? what if this story is true and its the same situation ;)

I'd be very happy if it ended up being Demon Souls 2, the superior Souls game. I'd be fine with SCEJ handling it instead of From Software.

Well, Demon's Souls was co-developed with SCEJ so....
But by BeeDog I,m wrong after all. Still excited to see their new IP for PS4
I hope its RPG

Nier was Square Enix and Cavia. Nothing to do with Sony.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is Demon's Souls 2 led by Takeshi Kaji. People under-estimate how involved he was in Demon's Souls and Hidetaka Miyazaki is supposedly working on a new IP, not a Souls game (I believe there was a rumor that was a SCEJ collaboration as well a little while back). Wouldn't surprise me at all to see SCEJ handle the IP internally going forward.

This.
It will be a new IP and probably a small game for PSN.


If DS2 happens it would have to be a collaboration with FS and SCEJ.If Sony chooses to develop it on their own then they will risk their relations with FS and they can't afford to do that.

So why was it ok for FS to make 'notDemonSouls' (Dark Souls) then and not risk their reputation with Sony?

Sony can do whatever the fuck they want with their IPs.

But that's not even the point, the rumored "Demon's Souls 2" in not even by FROM, it's SCEJ+Miyazaki+a small team that worked on DS.

Demon's Souls was basically developed by From.Only the producer and a very small team who worked on the online part of the game were from SCEJ.
Having Miyazaki on board surely helps but DS wasn't one person's project.Level designers,programmers and artists were all from FS.So if the rumour is true i hope the original team of From Software is involved as well.
