By all accounts, Sony hit a home run with its big PlayStation 5 showcase last week.
Besides confirming that the next-gen console would be home to improved versions of older titles such as Grand Theft Auto V during the presentation, various first-party studios eagerly revealed their latest upcoming projects.

Considering that the original PS4 release, which stars Peter Parker as the central character, has yet to celebrate its second anniversary, such a swift turnaround time for a full-blown triple-a sequel is almost unheard of in the industry, so how has the studio managed to pull off such a feat?
