Bend Studio community manager Kevin McAllister in a statement thanked fans for their support following the announcement Sony had cancelled their next game, as well as the next game at Bluepoint Games.
"I’ll keep this short," said McAllister. "Thanks for the love and support everyone, especially to those that have reached out. P.S. We still plan on creating cool shit."
Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games were developing live service games, and a Sony spokesperson stated the games were cancelled "following a recent review" and PlayStation will continue to develop online and single player games.
The last game from Bend Studio was 2019's Days Gone.
I’ll keep this short.

I'd still find if weird if any studio is only ever working on 1 game at a time, sure their recent game was cancelled but the programmers aren't going to be twiddling their thumbs while the artist draw concept drawings and vice versa. Surely all major studios are working on multiple things at any time. So hope they can get something going soon.
Their definitely getting shutdown right? They've released one game in 13 years.
I really hope for the best for them. But it is not looking good. This whole gaas direction for sony first party is such a plague. From the get go they lied about single player games not being effected. Sure seems different know with another two canceled gaas projects, this time from single player studios.

- What on Earth are they working on? They're either getting closed or restructured soon I imagine.
How about producing something that's not shit so Sony will not cancel it
"Cool Shit"?
What about "Hot shit"?
Really enjoyed Days Gone, would love to see a Sequel.
i hated days gone when i first tried it.. decided to give it another chance when got a PS5 because options was limited for games well still are, apart from the minor bugs it turned out a great game. if the rumoured remaster is using unreal 5 then il give it another shot
Why start now?
