Rumors suggest Sony is exploring revival of dormant PlayStation IPs for PS5, with insiders claiming there’s some truth to reviving franchises like Jak & Daxter, Ape Escape, MotorStorm, and more, though nothing is confirmed. The idea could involve new collections or indie‑led pitches rather than immediate new installments.
Animator Travis Howe revealed he joined a team that aimed to pitch a Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy remaster to Sony, and he reanimated a cutscene shot-for-shot to demonstrate the vision. The effort, not commissioned by Sony, remained a fan concept and never progressed, but Howe released the video as a proof-of-concept to spark interest in a modern Jak & Daxter remake.
A 2019 pitch for Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy to remaster the PS2 classic was presented to Sony by Sanzaru but was never greenlit. Naughty Dog had previously considered a new game in the series during the PS3 era but opted for The Last of Us, and Sanzaru later became part of Meta before being shut down in January 2026. The article shares a clip of an updated scene from the pitch, illustrating what a remake might have looked like, and notes fans’ ongoing interest in the franchise despite the project never progressing.
