After Shutting Down Almost a Dozen Live-Service Games, Sony Forms a New Team to Work on a Live-Service Game
Setting up a new studio is usual for a gaming giant; what's uncommon is that their debut title, a team-based action game, will be a live service title. It "draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe."Regarding this new title, it's emphasized that the team wants to build it with the community, listening to the feedback and inviting players to be part of the development through "early access playtests." The developers promise to reveal more details about this "ambitious incubation project" – which has made Hermen Hulst, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, really excited – at a later date. By then, we'll figure out if this is the rumored project codenamed Gummy Bear (speculated by Eurogamer), which, according to The Game Post, would be "a vibrant and colorful game, aiming to attract a younger audience."Obviously, Sony is determined to continue investing and exploring the path of live service titles, despite all the struggles. Bungie's "ultimate live service" Marathon, which would not be free but with "the right price that makes you feel it's worth your value," is coming this September. Do you look forward to this upcoming new game from Sony?
