Sundown Overdrive PS4 or PS5 Launch Is Extremely Unlikely

Bloodborne Remake and Sundown Overdrive PS5, PS4 variations have one factor in frequent: they’re each most likely by no means occurring. Within the case of the latter, paperwork leaked by Insomniac Video games hackers affirm 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 settlement doesn’t appear to have an finish date so the one two methods PlayStation house owners would possibly be capable of get Sundown Overdrive is that if Sony purchases publishing rights (assuming Microsoft is prepared 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 prepared to publish Sundown Overdrive on a number of platforms, however given its business efficiency, that additionally appears unlikely. In reality, leaked paperwork recommend that Insomniac itself canceled plans for Sundown Overdrive 2 in favor of constructing Spider-Man for Sony. A yr after its launch, Sony acquired Insomniac.
