Many PlayStation studios are having a troublesome time proper now, but it surely’s the continued mugging of Bend Studios, the makers of Days Gone, that I really feel worst about. In response to a brand new report, the crew is about to be hit by layoffs but once more.

That’s in accordance with journalist Jason Schreier who has apparently realized that the crew can be eliminating round 40 workers, completely about 30% of the studios present workforce.

He confirms that the crew has been engaged on a brand new venture following the cancellation of a live-service title Bend was beforehand engaged on.

Bend Studios hasn’t launched a recreation since Days Gone in 2019. Regardless of promoting effectively and getting a strong reception, Sony didn’t greenlight a sequel. Nonetheless, they did prefer it sufficient to offer it the remaster therapy. Combined messages there, Sony.

After some time, Bend was put onto live-service responsibility, however with that recreation gone and Bend presumably solely within the earliest phases of getting a brand new venture off the bottom it could possibly be one other 4-6 years earlier than they launch a recreation, given right now’s typical growth time for triple-A titles.
