In an apparent response to the Concord disaster, Sony has cancelled two live-service games, including one potential God of War title.
However, in a bit of good news in light of the layoffs rocking the game industry, Sony says neither of its two studios are at risk of closure.
Jason Schreier of Bloomberg reports that Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, both PlayStation studios, were working on two separate live service games — a venture Sony has been heavily invested in.
Last year, Sony saw one of its worst failures in the launch of Concord, alongside a massive success with Helldivers II. Live service games have proven to be a risky venture, but they are extremely profitable when done well.
