Developer Housemarque has begun work on an unannounced new IP, following the success of last year's Returnal. Following October's big 2.0 update - which added a photo mode and suspend points - it looks like PlayStation Studios' recent acquisition has moved onto other projects.
Speaking at the DICE Awards, VentureBeat reports that Housemarque managing director Ilari Kuittinen was asked about maintaining the studio's identity, confirming:
Returnal Developer Housemarque Is Working on a New IP
It's unlikely we'll see this next project anytime soon, though we're not surprised to hear something's in the works. Discussing the acquisition further, Kuittinen advised:
We had strong opinions on Returnal when it launched last year. Awarding it 4.5/5, we called it "undoubtedly one of Housemarque’s best games" and "a triumph for the PlayStation 5." That's available now on exclusively on PlayStation 5, though we've previously seen rumours about a PC port.
