ORIGINAL STORY: Many PlayStation studios are having a tricky time proper now, but it surely’s the continued mugging of Bend Studios, the makers of Days Gone, that I really feel worst about. In accordance with a brand new report, the workforce is about to be hit by layoffs but once more.
That’s in keeping with journalist Jason Schreier who has apparently discovered that the workforce might be eliminating round 40 staff, completely about 30% of the studios present workforce.
He confirms that the workforce has been engaged on a brand new venture following the cancellation of a live-service title Bend was previously working on.
Bend Studios hasn’t launched a recreation since Days Gone in 2019. Regardless of promoting properly and getting a stable reception, Sony didn’t greenlight a sequel. However, they did like it enough to give it the remaster treatment. Combined messages there, Sony.
After some time, Bend was put onto live-service obligation, however with that recreation gone and Bend presumably solely within the earliest levels of getting a brand new venture off the bottom it may very well be one other 4-6 years earlier than they launch a recreation, given as we speak’s typical improvement time for triple-A titles.
