Santa Monica Studio’s New Project Is Not Sci-Fi, Nor New IP

After briefly commenting on the Santa Monica Studio project (which is “going well” in development), Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier shared further details on ResetEra.

According to Jason, the project isn’t a new intellectual property (IP) and isn’t science fiction (sci-fi) either:

I’ll put it this way: it’s not a new intellectual property, but it might look like one. Maybe that’s why people are confused. Please don’t ask me any more questions about this – if I end up revealing more information at some point in the future, it will be in an article, not on a forum.

And those science fiction rumors (which people apparently believed for years?) are nonsense.

With this in mind, it’s possible Santa Monica Studio is reviving a dormant Sony franchise, with the project differing so drastically from the original game that it resembles a “new IP”.

As always, we’ll have to wait and see what it’s all about.
