Sony’s aggressive push towards new media could produce interesting results soon enough. Fans are already looking forward to the returning Uncharted franchise through the film media starring Tom Holland. The company revealed the teaser trailer of the movie during ‘The Game Awards 2020’ back in December.

Ryan did not reveal any information regarding future projects. Although, it would great to see more Sony IPs receiving similar treatment in the future. For one, it would be great to see Kratos finally making his way onto the big screen after the release of existing projects.
