Sony Interactive Entertainment London Studio has announced that it is working on an online co-op game for the PS5, which will be set in a fantasy-inspired London.
Speaking during an interview wth GI.biz, Tara Saunders of London Studio revealed that the game will utilise the Soho Engine and is being built specifically with Sony’s latest home console in mind.
It is our most ambitious game to-date. We’re going to take all of that innovation DNA and apply that into this online co-op combat game. [In our concept art] you’re seeing a take on a modern fantasy London. Our overarching theme is about bringing fantastical and magical elements and intersecting that with familiar worlds, and you don’t get much more familiar to us than London.

Meanwhile, Stuart Whyte, co-studio head at London Studio, added:
We are proud of the history and innovation that we’ve done over the years, supporting all sorts of PlayStation technology, whether that’s VR, or AR, or microphones, or whatever.
With this project, we really wanted to explore some new avenues and set ourselves some new challenges. We definitely wanted to try something a little bit different, and I think this new project really channels our ‘brave’ value and allows us to push ourselves on the ‘curious’ front, too. It’s an exciting future, it really is.
Sony London had been hiring for the new PS5 title for a while now, although this is the first time we’ve got confirmation of the type of game the project is. A job listing posted back in October last year indicated the project will feature procedurally generated worlds and content.
