Looking at the insane success of PalWorld - single player narrative driven games after the dubious success of Starfield is going to be hard to justify to investors and years it takes.
Rockstar and MS(Bethesda), Sony (Naughty Dog/Guerrilla Games) and the J-RPG companies might be the only ones left standing.
Activision will be around - no more COD single player and it will be an annual season release just in time for Xmas full of map upgrades and other micro transactions.

- PsylentKnight 3y agoTears of the Kingdom and Spiderman 2 also did very well. Starfield was more of a "this game is not very good" thing than a "single player games are doomed" thing
- proc0 3y agoI think that still remains to be seen. Elden Ring did well (granted it mas multiplayer but it's not the main experience), Resident Evil games still do well, in the West there is Alan Wake 2, Senua's Sacrifice, and the others you already mentioned which include God of War, Tomb Raider, etc. The question here is can Deus Ex compete with these titles, and it absolutely can depending on the execution of it. The brand is definitely there, and it really feels like they're underestimating it.
