It's a PP slide background, so I can't take it as a real leak of anything.
Original Content is good news though.

Looks like they’re wanting to take the leap. Will they succeed where Ready at Dawn failed?

Are these slides available for each studio? Seen one for Bluepoint and Guerilla.
Would love to see SSM or Naughty Dog

All Bluepoint had done so far is remastered/remake. So this is a relief.

From that artwork alone.

Not sure why but it kinda reminds me a bit of Prince of Persia 2008.

They have done original games before, even own some IPs.

I don't know what the heck that image is but man those look like ancient ruins, and it's giving me fantasy vibes.

Who's leaking all this Sony stuff in the last couple of days?

It’s Atreus in a fantasy ancient Egypt.

All the worst case scenarios are turning out to be true:
Insomniac is a Marvel factory
Bluepoint is working on a GOW spinoff after spending years helping with Ragnarok
Housemarque loses legendary Krueger
No Wipeout in sight
ND games years away
Bloodborne port dead
Depressing. Utterly depressing.

There's literally a pretty solid rumor making the rounds about a Sega-developed Wipeout game.
Also, remember that third-person sci-fi RPG from Sony that got a video of its prototype leaked just last year? It seems like that might very well be Housemarque's new IP, which would be extremely exciting.

Where is this rumour coming from? That would fit my initial assumption: a new release of a well-known IP.It’s Atreus in a fantasy ancient Egypt.

If I can play as the ancient Egyptians, torturing and then killing Atreus, I'd buy the game.It’s Atreus in a fantasy ancient Egypt.
This character and all the gameplay and story decisions around him contributed heavily to me disliking the "nu God of War" games.

Im not getting Atreus vibes at all in that concept art, the corporeal character looks muscular, has a sword, no bow on his back. The ‘ghostly’ character has a beard but is lithe. Giving me more Soulslike vibes like a summoned phantom.
Soooo since Bluepoint literally built a Soulslike from the ground up already, they have a good idea of how to make them, maybe the new IP is a Egyptian themed Soulslike?

I called it. It's all safe and similar copy pasted games, creativity dead. Bloodborne hurts the most. Not even a PC port...If people were still hoping for it, well at this point it's oficially fucking dead.

And one would have thought initial pivot for games as a service from Jim Ryan's era being backpedaled would finally mean some good news for Sony's games. Sigh, it's really bad
I still hope that Bluepoint game is an original IP as that concept art looks really neat

Sony are probably "leaking it" to drum up hype for an upcoming show.

My theory is still that they are working on a spin-off Atreus game -- which I'd welcome, especially if there's a time-jump in between the game, and Atreus becomes a young adult with a badass body and his fully explored powers.
I also believe that Bluepoint should expand into multiple teams, and at least one of the team should continue with remasters and remakes. That's their specialty, and they should not let go of their competitive edge.

Atreus is Loki, and Loki is a kickass character.
People who don’t like him in God of War are comparing him to Kratos and forgetting he’s a kid.
Older Loki is going to kick ass.

Shouldn't Atreus have a bow?

People should have bought Bloodborne more if they wanted the franchise to continue
The game only sold ~3 million copies. There are other games that sold way more and deserve sequels, ports, remakes, and preferential treatment.
But then people keep crying when Sony remakes/remasters a game that sold 20 million copies and complain why Sony isn't remaking a game that only sold 3 million copies. Good thing that Sony doesn't listen to these people or else it'd have gone bankrupt by now.

Or bought Demon's Souls Remake. I don't think that flew off the shelves either.People should have bought Bloodborne more if they wanted the franchise to continue

Is this where we are? Extreme populism in every media on earth? Sony can’t take the weight of having a few quality games that aren’t a 10+ million seller because they’re not tied to Marvel or legacy IPs? Grim.People should have bought Bloodborne more if they wanted the franchise to continue

As nial pointed out, that was xDev. Apparently, that project is codenamed Ooze and is made externally for PlayStation with xDev's help.

Sony is a business, my man. It's an open market out there, and that defines the success or failures of the products a business chooses to put out.
Sony release Demon's Souls; it didn't sell well. Sony released Bloodborne; it didn't sell well. Sony still chose to remake Demon's Souls for the PS5, and that didn't sell well either.
Will we get a Forspoken remake and a sequel down the road? No. Because it failed. Same with Redfall or Aveum or Calisto Protocol. There would be many people who loved those games, and there are things that some of those games are fantastic at: Forspoken's traversal, Callisto's visual fidelity, Aveum's freshness with 1P magic, etc.
But we (understandably) won't get those games.
After all, why would a company choose to keep releasing a game that the market has already rejected? How does that make financial sense to keep losing shareholders' money? That is a recipe for long-term disaster and can even shut down huge businesses.
P.S. While so many are criticizing for Insomniac to have so many Marvel projects, these are the projects that will keep Ratchet & Clank alive (despite it losing $8 million!) and fund 2 new IPs for Insomniac. Sometimes, us gamers can have a very tunnel vision, but that's not how the world works.

That concept art looks AI generated to me

I think it's the other way around, i.e. that you've seen so much AI-generated art in the style of concept art.

Theyre taking Atreus and making him Atrea, a jacked up female version on Atreus for this new game.
