Wait new studio? Why didnt I read anything about this? Had no clue.
Most sensible thing we can assume, yes.Looks like a new studio. A launch title for PS5?
Anyone got a theory as to why the existence of this new team is freely shared including announcing new employees, but giving it a name is such a closely guarded secret?
Off the top of my head I would suggest something silly like having 'PS5' in the name but clearly that isn't happening. So what is going on?
I bet the name is... America Studio, I guess ?
HZD 2 will be a launch title for PS5. You can quote me on that.If you think about it. PS3 and PS4 launch titles were ok. Sure PS4 had Killzone shadowfall, but Sony needs to go all out on the launch tiles
HZD 2 will be a launch title for PS5. You can quote me on that.
(also, Guerrilla hiring +100 new people and moving to a new location with their own mo-cap studio just may indicate they're working on something)

That "may" was meant as obvious sarcasm - but unfortunately, sarcasm seems to be lost frequently online without any smileys or "/s"-tags. Of course they've been working on something for quite a while now.May? Surely they were in pre-production of their next game during the last year of development of H:ZD and the majority of the studio of 270+ have been in full production for nearly 2 years now?
Guerilla is setting up a new studio, but Sony has been expanding its major studios to several teams for a while now. They could have acquired some second party studio too however...... I think Sony will have lots to reveal this year and in early 2020......Wait new studio? Why didnt I read anything about this? Had no clue.

Just that, given the expansion of staff, and new location with an own mo-cap studio, and the fact that Shadow Fall was a launch title for PS4 leads me to believe that HZD 2 for PS5 launch is pretty much given.
Yeah, that's not a merit now is itRockstar animator?
I second this. Wasn’t aware of the existence of a new first-party studio over at Sony.
Microsoft decided to make studio acquisitions and the founding of new studios a focal point of their marketing campaign. Sony didn't.
But Sony has been expanding its World Wide Studios at a similar pace.
GuerillaGames has practically doubled in size, now probably working on Horizon 2 and a First Person Shooter. Naughty Dog grew, tackling a new IP after The Last Of Us 2. And the unannounced studio mentioned in OP is probably slated to take on the Uncharted IP now that NaughtyDog is moving on. Bend grew as well, but that might not last depending on the success of Days Gone. Same thing for Sucker Punch with Ghost Of Tsushima.
Add to that seemingly long term exclusive 3rd party partnerships with Insomniac(we don't know much about the exclusivity deal between Sony and Marvel here, but I expect 2 or 3 games) as well as Kojima Productions(the fact that they use Guerillas Engine makes me think they will remain a part of the WWS family.)
I would even say that Sonys 1st party department grew faster than Microsofts over the past 2 years. They just focussed more on expanding existing teams and didn't talk about it much.
Studio will probably be revelead together with the game. They don't need to brag like MS because everyone knows about Sony Worldwide Studios.

I also think they might release a smaller game as a launch titleMay? Surely they were in pre-production of their next game during the last year of development of H:ZD and the majority of the studio of 270+ have been in full production for nearly 2 years now?
I doubt so many people could be sitting idle after completing H:ZD waiting a year for the design team to come up with the next game.....There is usually overlap.
The expansion of +150 people and a move to a new, bigger studio is on top of the above.
"Microsoft decided to make studio acquisitions and the founding of new studios a focal point of their marketing campaign. Sony didn't. "
Well thats new to MS, that is normal to Sony. This is pretty much standard for them and business as usual which is why this is likely not surprising and not a big deal to them as in shout from the roof tops big deal.
That being said.....man I miss The Getaway series lol
Interactive Movie Studios name confirmed!They haven't chosen a name for it yet is all. Also sounds looks like they're making another interactive movie.
I bet it gives the technology or an acquisition away instead of the game name. Something related to VR, cloud or them acquiring an existing studio.Well we know about the studio itself and clearly through job postings and photo ops of some hire's, Sony don't mind it being known. What they seem intent on, rather mysteriously IMO, is not allowing us to know what the name of the studio is.
I can only assume the name of the studio will literally give the game away? Or something similar.
Would have been something awesome to talk about at E3 or PSX, but......................yeah Sony doesn't think there's any reason to have those anymore.
I really hope this isn't an uncharted series game factory studio but I fear that's what it will be. I understand uncharted is a big PS franchise and that naughty dog would want to move on the new things though. Id like to see sony do the following:
-build or purchase a smaller Japanese RPG Studio. Cyber connect 2, or perhaps level 5 if they wanted a publisher.
-If nioh 2 is a hit buying koie tecmo might be a good decision. They have the rights to games like ninja gaiden and could be a competent souls esque studio should fromsoftware take a bribe from Microsoft.
-Kojima productions seems like an obvious pickup. Genuinely surprised this hasn't happened yet.
-Insomniac game, same as kojima productions
-Organize Japan studio so that they are real AAA studio and not making AA indie games,
I don't think that's too much of a tall order but im not their financial guy so who knows.
I think Sand Diego is working on the new Uncharted game.....I really hope this isn't an uncharted series game factory studio but I fear that's what it will be.

I've said this myself before, I think Tecmo would be a good pick.....I'd also love for the game below to be remastered and for them to work on a sequel, there they could fix the issues they had with the first....It was a very competent TPS/Slasher hybrid btw...-build or purchase a smaller Japanese RPG Studio.
