Leaked Footage Allegedly Shows Off A New PlayStation Sci-Fi IP

The iconic duo of “the video game industry” and “leaked secrets” has allegedly struck again, as footage of what is purported to be a brand-new franchise in the PlayStation portfolio has leaked onto the web.

The author of the post does not specify which studio is working on it, only saying that it’s “based in Europe.” A follow-up image posted to ResetEra implies the studio could be Outriders dev People Can Fly, as the word “Red” on the leaked footage’s HUD matches an internal codename shown on a PCF slide deck.
