Sony is shutting down two studios today. This, and Neon Koi (formerly, Savage Game Studios). Don't make it look like it's developers fault, this is pure Sony's mismanagement and poor decisions.
There has been a lot of discussion about the abuse of remasters from PlayStation Studios. But, now the company is an example of reinvention? I don't think so.
Anyway, reinvention is not only using different IPs across the time, it's exploring new alternatives, and design. Sony is not famous for pushing the industry forward, precisely.
Here we go, again. They said the same with Concord:
“I’m confident the studio’s upcoming project will be a robust addition to PlayStation Studios’ portfolio, and its live service and technology expertise will be instrumental in helping grow PlayStation’s reach.”
“We’re thrilled to expand upon our collaborative relationship with Firewalk Studios and formally welcome the team to PlayStation Studios,” said Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios.

It’s very sad watching our beloved PlayStation slowly dying, long time fans migrating to PC. We were a family, people!

These “analysts” are just paid PR, trying to create trends, saying the public what is good for them or where is the future of the industry.
