After the Harmony drama that resulted within the sport being shut down after a two-week stint, many anticipated Sony to decelerate its dwell service ambitions, however even after two dwell service titles from Bluepoint and Bend Studio had been canceled, that does not appear to be the case. Sony boss Hermen Hulst took to the PlayStation Weblog to announce teamLFG, a brand new studio originating from inside Bungie, which is engaged on multiplayer titles for Sony.
The brand new studio is not simply Bungie workers, nevertheless, with the group reportedly having builders “who’ve shipped titles like Future, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room,” in addition to “business newcomers with recent artistic views and expertise.”
Whilst you could know LFG as a special acronym, teamLFG says it is utilizing the tabletop definition – “Trying For Group.” The studio mentioned in PlayStation’s press launch, “We’re pushed by a mission to create video games the place gamers can discover friendship, neighborhood, and belonging. We would like our gamers to really feel excited once they go surfing to find their teammates already hanging out on-line.”
Whereas no particular titles have been introduced alongside the studio, it has confirmed that the primary sport it is growing is about inside a “lighthearted, comedic world set in a brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe.” With the gameplay set to be “a team-based motion sport that attracts inspiration from combating video games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type video games”… no matter meaning.
Whereas there’s probably a powerful group of expertise behind the brand new studio, Sony’s dwell service resume hasn’t been probably the most inspiring. Hopefully, in a couple of years’ time, we’re all loving the most recent frog-type life sim MOBA combating platformer alongside a few of Sony’s premiere single-player video games, which the corporate will hopefully have returned to by then.
