It's been six months since the PlayStation VR2 was released, but Sony has yet to announce any first-party titles for the console. That's especially strange when you consider the success of the console's launch title, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, which many consider to be the best VR game ever made.
The success of Astro Bot is also evident from the success of the free game Astro's Playroom that came with the PlayStation 5. This makes the lack of a sequel or any new game announcement from Sony all the more peculiar.
However, it seems that Sony may finally be ready to announce something soon. Trademarks for 'video game software' were recently registered in Europe and the US. While there's no guarantee that this is for a VR title, it's certainly a possibility.
The trademarks were first noticed by Gematsu, and were then found at the US trademark office, which suggests that Sony may be making up for lost time.
Coincidentally, there was an article on Japanese site 4Gamer.net about a presentation at the CEDEC 2023 developer conference. The presentation was called 'A Review of PlayStation 5 Development', and one of the slides showed Astro Bot as an example of a VR game.
It's possible that the developer giving the talk just used whatever image was to hand, or that they know a new game is in development. Either way, even Sony developers seem to think that there should be a new Astro Bot game.
Only time will tell, but it looks like we may finally be getting a sequel to Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. Keep checking back to see if Sony makes an announcement soon!
