Today brings exciting news for gaming enthusiasts as People Can Fly, the talented Polish developers behind hits like Outriders and Gears of War: Judgment, have teamed up with Sony Interactive Entertainment. The big announcement? They’re working on a mysterious new game currently known only by its codename, “Project Delta.” Although the details remain under wraps, fans are buzzing with speculation, particularly among PlayStation devotees who believe the collaboration might bring a fresh installment to a beloved series like SOCOM.
The rumor mill kicked into high gear thanks to a sharp-eyed Redditor on the PS5 subreddit. They highlighted that People Can Fly could be diving into one of Sony’s iconic intellectual properties. With the developer’s strong history in shooting games, this has naturally narrowed the field. SOCOM is a frontrunner in these fan discussions, but names like Killzone, Resistance, and Warhawk are also being floated around.
“Given their track record with shooters, it’s got to be either SOCOM or Killzone,” speculated one Reddit user. Another chimed in, “Don’t forget about Resistance; it’s a solid contender too.”
The potential for a Warhawk revival also sparked interest, with one user reminiscing about its untapped potential: “Warhawk could’ve been huge, almost Fortnite-like in its day, if Sony had just pushed it harder.”
Amidst all these guesses, one hopeful fan yearned, “I’m crossing my fingers for Resistance. We need it back!”
While this is all purely conjecture at this point, who knows what surprises People Can Fly and Sony have in store? The speculation even amusingly stretches to the possibility of a third-person shooter unknowingly based on a franchise like Knack. But for now, patience is the name of the game, as it might be a few years before we see the final product.
For those needing a refresher, SOCOM was a renowned third-person tactical shooter that graced the PS2, PS3, and PSP. The last installment, SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs, hit the shelves in 2011 but received mixed reviews, scoring an average of 67 on Metacritic from 64 critic reviews. Since then, the series has remained on the backburner, leaving fans in eager anticipation of any potential revival.
