Bloodborne Remake and Sundown Overdrive PS5, PS4 variations have one factor in widespread: they’re each most likely by no means occurring. Within the case of the latter, paperwork leaked by Insomniac Video games hackers verify that though the studio owns the IP, its publishing rights stay with Microsoft.
Sundown Overdrive PS5, PS4 variations gained’t occur until Microsoft relinquishes publishing rights
Not solely does Microsoft have publishing rights for the unique Sundown Overdrive, it additionally maintains rights to publish at the very least two sequels and “any related DLC, ports, and spinoff video games.” This agreement doesn’t appear to have an finish date so the one two methods PlayStation homeowners would possibly have the ability to get Sundown Overdrive is that if Sony purchases publishing rights (assuming Microsoft is keen to promote) or if Microsoft relinquishes its rights.
We point out the latter as a result of Sony is unlikely to fork out money for publishing rights, contemplating Sundown Overdrive earned a whopping $567 revenue. The corporate has way more profitable video games in its vault to spend cash on, so we don’t foresee this being a consideration.
Maybe Microsoft could also be keen to publish Sundown Overdrive on a number of platforms, however given its industrial efficiency, that additionally appears unlikely. In reality, leaked paperwork recommend that Insomniac itself canceled plans for Sundown Overdrive 2 in favor of creating Spider-Man for Sony. A yr after its launch, Sony acquired Insomniac.
