Days Gone Studio Sony Bend Seemingly Working on PlayStation Live-Service Game
25.03.2024 - 09:49 / wccftech.com / Aernout van de Velde / Sony
PlayStation's Days Gone and Syphon Filter developer Bend Studio is seemingly working on a PlayStation live-service game.
At least, that's what could be discerned from a recent new job listing at Sony's first-party studio for a 'Lead Project Manager'. While the job listing doesn't directly confirm that the studio is working on a live-service project, the listing does describe the "key phases of development", thereby mentioning "live services". In addition, the listing mentions "Hands-on game development experience in leadership roles shipping AAA live service" as a requirement for the position at Bend Studio. Also, a plus for a candidate would be experienced with redefining traditional "boxed" product development into live service development.

Back in June of 2022 we reported that Bend Studio confirmed multiplayer and open-world systems for their next project. This open-world system is build upon the system from Days Gone.
"The new Bend Studio logo is just the beginning of Bend Studio’s future", the studio wrote in 2022. "As part of the PlayStation Studios family, we promise to continue bringing you quality experiences that aim to leave an everlasting impact with you. Today, we are excited to share just a snippet of news on our current project. We are currently working on a new IP that includes multiplayer and builds upon the open-world systems of Days Gone, but brings you a whole new world that we are extremely excited to craft for you. We cannot wait to reveal it to you when the time is right."
As said, the Oregon-based studio is known for the Syphon Filter series, and 2019's Days Gone. Here's what we wrote about Days Gone in our launch review on PS4. The title was also released for PC back in 2021.
"Days Gone puts Bend Studio once again on the map of all PlayStation gamers after many years of oblivion. While it doesn't deliver any meaningful innovations in terms of open world and gameplay mechanics, it's a fun game that sports gorgeous graphics and a surprisingly great story/cast of characters, easily paving the way for a sequel to the stories of Deacon 'the Drifter' St. John."
