Rumors Circulate About SOCOM Revival as Sony Enlists People Can Fly for Secret Project

Today, People Can Fly, renowned for their work on shooters like “Outriders” and “Gears of War: Judgment,” has teamed up with Sony Interactive Entertainment to create a new video game, currently under the codename “Project Delta.” While only finalized yesterday, details about this eagerly anticipated project remain tightly under wraps. Nonetheless, PlayStation fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation, with a strong belief that it might just be a revival of the beloved SOCOM series.

One particularly observant Reddit user on the PS5 subreddit spotted this collaboration and noted that it will draw upon one of Sony’s existing intellectual properties. Given People Can Fly’s impressive track record in the shooter genre, the possibilities might be somewhat limited to similar titles within Sony’s lineup. The online conversation is lively, with SOCOM emerging as the prime suspect, though other contenders like Killzone, Resistance, and Warhawk are also being fervently discussed.

“With this studio’s history, it’s got to be SOCOM or Killzone,” one Redditor confidently predicted. “Resistance is also a solid possibility,” added another.

Others are rooting for different revivals. “I’d love to see Warhawk make a comeback,” mused another commenter, reflecting on its untapped potential that perhaps rivaled the likes of Fortnite. “Sony missed a big opportunity there.”

Another hopeful exclaimed, “Please let it be Resistance!”

Needless to say, these are just guesses at this point. Who knows, we might even see a surprising twist like a third-person shooter featuring Knack. It seems fans will have to exercise patience, as concrete details might not surface for quite some time.

For those less familiar, SOCOM was a tactical shooter series that made its mark on the PS2, PS3, and PSP platforms. The latest installment was “SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs” back in 2011, which received a lukewarm reception, scoring an average of 67 on Metacritic based on 64 reviews. Since then, the series has been quietly sitting in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to re-emerge.
