I would say that outside of a couple of examples, most of Sony’s live service investment is in new IP from newly acquired teams, or existing teams with some heritage in this anyway. So Haven, Firewalk, Firesprite, Bungie… all new devs making live service games, mostly new IP.
And then there’s London Studio’s fantasy action multiplayer game and whatever Media Molecule is building. Both developers that have done this stuff before
It’s making a few bets with existing IP (namely the Horizon game). But it’s mostly doing what’s been suggested. Buying up new projects and teams developing things in these areas
