"Open-world Hitman + MGSV with more denser location": Bend Studio's next game is rumored to be Syphon Filter successor
Bend Studio's recent history has been a relatively mixed one, primarily due to the performance and sales of Days Gone. It was a PlayStation first-party studio since 2000, and has several renowned IPs under its list. However, Days Gone was hardly the success the studio had anticipated, and it has left a blip on their track record.
The studio has been working on a brand new IP for some time now. Recent rumors have emerged, suggesting that their upcoming project will be a spiritual successor to the Syphon Filter games.
When Bend released Days Gone in 2019, it was the studio's first release in almost eight years. Unfortunately, the game had mixed reactions and failed to deliver the quality the studio expected. This ended with director Jeff Ross leaving the studio in 2020.
After that, there were rumors of the studio working on an AAA game, and the open-world system of Days Gone would be incorporated into it. The latest rumors suggest a slightly different path altogether.
Earlier on April 4, a new rumor hinted at an upcoming project codenamed Propaganda. This project is the current game that the studio is working on. There were earlier reports that the studio was disappointed with the rejection of a potential sequel for Days Gone.
It now appears that the disappointment has been pushed back as the new game continues to develop.
The new game has been dubbed as a potential successor to Syphon Filter. It has been almost 15 years since the last Syphon Filter game was released. A significant takeaway from the leak is the potential structure of the upcoming game.
The rumors hint that the new project will be an open-world game. Despite Days Gone not meeting expectations, its open-world structure was well received.
