From Software made a lot of PS exclusives since the PS1.3 game deal was reported years and years ago. DeS, Bloodborne, PS5 exclusive. It’s coming, it’s pretty much nailed on.
They are part of Kadokawa, who also made a lot of PS exclusives since the PS1 days.
Months ago Kadokawa gave 2% of their company shares in exchange for getting help from Sony to bring Kadokawa's games and animes to a bigger, worldwide audience.
Jimbo said they were working to get more exclusives from Japan and other Asian countries.
So yes, it's super likely that Sony will continue getting From Software and Kadokawa exclusive games. If that 3 games deal would have existed, the 3rd game would have been Deracine, not the PS5 game.
Regarding the State of Play, I think that if this game exist they won't show it there because From now must be busy with Elder Ring and this PS5 exclusive would be years away from being released and maybe even announced.
In the past Sony Santa Monica handled the American 2nd party games, XDEV handled the European 2nd party games and Sony Japan handled the Japanese 2nd party games.How would fromsoft + Sony game work now? Both Bloodborne and demons souls were fromsoft + Japan studio things.
From + team asobi?
Now XDEV will handle all the 2nd party games. They have been hiring people to work specifically in games developed in Japan and other Asian countries. Santa Monica now only develops their own internal games and Japan Studio (now renamed to Team Asobi) only develops their own internal games.
