According to a recent article from Bloomberg, Sony has cancelled an unannounced God of War live service game and a new title from Bend Studio. Bluepoint Games was working on the former.
Fans have speculated on what the developers behind the Demon’s Souls and the Shadow of the Colossus remaster could be working on next. It appears to have been a live service God of War game. Bend Studio previously worked on Days Gone. Sony has not revealed any further details about the live service God of War game or the live service Bend Studio title.
According to Bloomberg, “Sony didn’t say if the cancellations will lead to studio closures or layoffs.” The company claims, however, that it’s “working closely with Bend and Bluepoint to determine what are the next projects and plan to do everything we can to ensure there is minimal business impact.”
The most recent God of War game, God of War: Ragnarok, is available now on PC and PlayStation 5. Here’s an overview of the game via the PlayStation Store:
