SOCOM PS4 PlayStation 4 1

There’s a laundry list of franchises that fans would like Sony to bring back, but SOCOM probably sits somewhere near to the top. As it’s a New Year, then, we may as well pick up where we left 2018: with rubbish rumours. Our good friend Tidux is back, telling his followers that a new instalment in the multiplayer military series is in production.

Of course, as we’ve come to expect from the rumour monger these days, there’s no source or evidence to corroborate the story. Some people think that this may be why Guerrilla Games recruited Rainbow Six: Siege director Simon Larouche, but that’s obviously just speculation – there’s really no reason to believe it could be SOCOM related at all.

The platform holder has said that it wants to do better with multiplayer titles, and there probably is room in the market for a tactical shooter like SOCOM. We reckon this type of title would do well at the start of a generation, perhaps as a relatively cheap download on the PlayStation 5 that could be expanded over time.

As for this rumour, though? Don’t read too much into it.
