Sony's Secret Los Angeles Studio: A New AAA PlayStation Game in Development
A newly opened PlayStation studio in Los Angeles, California, is developing a highly anticipated, original AAA title for the PS5, as confirmed by a recent job posting. This marks Sony's 20th first-party studio, adding to its already impressive lineup.
The announcement has generated significant excitement among PlayStation fans, who eagerly await news on upcoming projects from renowned studios like Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, and Insomniac Games. Sony's recent acquisitions of Housemarque, Bluepoint Games, and Firesprite further demonstrate its commitment to expanding its first-party development capabilities. This mystery studio represents the latest addition to this impressive roster.
The job listing for a Project Senior Producer explicitly mentions the establishment of a new AAA studio in Los Angeles, fueling speculation about its identity. One theory suggests it houses a Bungie spin-off team, formed following the July 2024 layoffs where 155 Bungie employees transitioned to Sony Interactive Entertainment. This team may be working on Bungie's previously announced "Gummybears" incubation project.
A Resurrected Project?
Another strong contender is the team led by Jason Blundell, a veteran Call of Duty developer. Blundell co-founded Deviation Games, a studio working on a PS5 AAA title before its closure in March 2024. Following Blundell's departure from Deviation Games in 2022, many former employees joined PlayStation, forming a new team under his leadership. Considering this team's longer development period compared to the potential Bungie spin-off, it's plausible that PlayStation's new studio is Blundell's. This could mean a continuation or revival of Deviation Games' previously unannounced project.
While details remain scarce, and an official announcement from Sony may be years away, the news of a new first-party studio developing a AAA game is undoubtedly positive for PlayStation fans.
