Over the years, Sony introduced numerous memorable franchises that helped define multiple console generations. However, several of these series have remained dormant for many years. With modern AAA game development becoming increasingly time\u2011consuming and resource\u2011intensive, many Sony studios are currently focused on new large\u2011scale projects. As a result, several <strong>classic PlayStation franchises<\/strong> have not received new entries for a long time. Recently, however, new rumors suggest that Sony may be considering a <strong>PlayStation classic IP revival<\/strong>, potentially bringing back some of its most beloved legacy titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/product\/playstation-network-gift-cards\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation Network Gift Card\" class=\"wp-image-96533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo_2025-11-24_14-09-10-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/product\/playstation-network-gift-cards\/\">PlayStation Network Gift Card<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-infamous-remake-rumors-after-more-than-a-decade\" data-level=\"2\">Infamous Remake Rumors After More Than a Decade<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-sly-cooper-ape-escape-and-motorstorm-may-return\" data-level=\"2\">Sly Cooper, Ape Escape, and MotorStorm May Return<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-vgc-journalist-mentions-ape-escape\" data-level=\"2\">VGC Journalist Mentions Ape Escape<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-current-status-of-these-classic-playstation-franchises\" data-level=\"2\">The Current Status of These Classic PlayStation Franchises<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-sly-cooper\" data-level=\"3\">Sly Cooper<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-motorstorm\" data-level=\"3\">MotorStorm<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ape-escape\" data-level=\"3\">Ape Escape<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-why-sony-might-bring-back-old-playstation-ips\" data-level=\"2\">Why Sony Might Bring Back Old PlayStation IPs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-conclusion\" data-level=\"2\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-faq\" data-level=\"2\">FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-infamous-remake-rumors-after-more-than-a-decade\">Infamous Remake Rumors After More Than a Decade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most talked\u2011about possibilities involves the <strong>Infamous<\/strong> series.
