Sony Bend’s Open World Live Service Title Has Been Cancelled
SIE Bend Studio’s streak of bad luck seems to be continuing. The studio has faced constant upheaval since Days Gone’s launch in 2019, and after reports of a Days Gone sequel and an Uncharted title having been shelved in the years since, a third successive title has met the same fate.
Sony Bend has been at work on a new open world live service IP for several years at this point, though the project has now been shelved. As per a report published by Bloomberg, Sony Bend’s title and Bluepoint Games’ unannounced title are the latest in a long line of live service cancellations by Sony.
Back in May 2023, Sony stated it intended to release 12 live service games within the next three years as part of a big live service push. Since then, however, though Helldivers 2 has seen widespread success, Sony’s live service efforts have also endured many failures and cancellations, including Concord, The Last of Us Online, a multiplayer Spider-Man title, London Studio’s title, an alleged Twisted Metal reboot, and others.
Sony says these latest cancellations won’t lead to studio closures. Read more on that through here.
