Many PlayStation studios are having a tricky time proper now, however it’s the continuing mugging of Bend Studios, the makers of Days Gone, that I really feel worst about. In keeping with a brand new report, the group is about to be hit by layoffs but once more.
That’s in response to journalist Jason Schreier who has apparently realized that the group might be eliminating round 40 workers, completely about 30% of the studios present workforce.
He confirms that the group has been engaged on a brand new challenge following the cancellation of a live-service title Bend was beforehand engaged on.
Bend Studios hasn’t launched a sport since Days Gone in 2019. Regardless of promoting properly and getting a strong reception, Sony didn’t greenlight a sequel. Nonetheless, they did prefer it sufficient to present it the remaster remedy. Combined messages there, Sony.
After some time, Bend was put onto live-service obligation, however with that sport gone and Bend presumably solely within the earliest levels of getting a brand new challenge off the bottom it may very well be one other 4-6 years earlier than they launch a sport, given at this time’s typical improvement time for triple-A titles.
