Two games in development at Bend Studio and Bluepoint have apparently been canned.
In the graveyard of live service games Concord may just be the biggest headstone, and that seems to have focused some minds over at PlayStation. Previously the noises coming from Sony were all about the importance of live service games to its future strategy, and it had announced plans to launch more than 10 live service games by the 2025 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2026.
Now? Not so much. A new Bloomberg report reveals that “following a recent review” PlayStation has canceled two unannounced live service games in development at subsidiaries Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games. Bend is best-known for Days Gone and, back in the day, Syphon Filter, while Bluepoint mainly handles high-profile remakes like Demon’s Souls.

Good! Wonder what trend the brain-dead CEOs are going to chase after now. Cozy games?
They’ll ask the AI what to make then ask the AI to code it and use AI art.

I think they’re going to jump ship for straight up gambling apps. That seems like the growth area now.
Platformers.

Since games take 5+ years to make now we’re probably in for a wave of metaverse products.
Ooh, this seems like an excellent guess.
