Sony may be gearing up to announce a newSOCOMgame for PS5, hints a new leak. The game could potentially join the several other confirmed PS5 exclusives, such asMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles MoralesandHorizon Forbidden West, which were announced at the console reveal event in June.
A new leak from 4chan has fans thinking that a newSOCOMgame could be announced for PS5 soon. An anonymous leaker hid the game’s name in their message, by capitalizing some words in the middle of a sentence. The leaker has capitalized the letter “S” in “Sure,” the letter “O” in “Or” and the last three letters of “GamesCOM” to spell out the popular military shooter series.

The reason that so many fans have been quick to think that this leak is the real deal is that the same poster has been right about two other things in the last 24 hours. On August 2, the leaker said thatSony would announce another State of Playevent on August 3, which the company did. That leak also said that it would be “less like other State of Plays” and would not feature the PS5 price or release date. Sony has confirmed that there will be no big PS5 announcements at the event, which all goes with what the leaker has said.
In the new post, which also featured theSOCOMrumor, the leaker told fans to expect “locked off content exclusively for Sony that will definitely stir up some controversy” and that this would be announced “in a couple of days.” While there may be multiple deals like this, one of them, the confirmation thatMarvel’s Avengerswill feature Spider-Man exclusively in the PS4 version, also proves the leaker right.
It also wouldn’t be the first rumor aboutSOCOMfor PS5. In November 2019, there was a rumor thatSOCOMis in development for PS5atHorizon Zero Dawndeveloper Guerrilla Games. This rumor was supported by Guerrilla Games job listings from April 2019, which said that the developer was looking for multiplayer developers. While some fans speculated that this meant that Guerrilla is working on a newKillzonegame, or some sort of multiplayer feature forHorizon Forbidden West, it could just as easily have been for this rumoredSOCOMtitle.
There are plenty ofrumored PS5 exclusive gamesthat haven’t been announced. Sony likely has many more PS5 games to reveal but it’s unclear if this rumoredSOCOMgame will be one of them.
