Sony Interactive Entertainment Partners With Deviation Games To Work On New Project For PlayStation

While Sony Interactive Entertainment already established its next plans for the PlayStation 5 release lineup bleeding into 2022 next year, the PlayStation company is establishing relationships with experienced teams to work on new projects. Previously, it was announced that Jade Raymond’s Haven Entertainment Studios will be working on a new game for PlayStation. Later, it was also told that Firewalk Studios is to also do the same as well.

Of course, it is expected that perhaps other teams with veteran developers leading the studio to also enter this new initiative for the PlayStation platform. During Summer Game Fest on Thursday, former Treyarch lead Jason Blundell announced newly formed Deviation Games is to be the next team to join alongside Sony Interactive Entertainment.

While details are still very scarce on the project, it is certain the new title will be for PlayStation surely.

Today we are thrilled to announce a landmark deal for Deviation Games, working with Sony Interactive Entertainment to develop a brand-new original IP. I know what you’re thinking as you read this. What kind of game are we making? How long have we already been working on it? Is it story based? Multiplayer? Co-op? Or all of the above and more? When is it coming out?

While I can confirm development is already underway, it’s really early for us to be going into specific details. We’re drawing on what we’ve learned over our collective decades making games, but we’re also out to make something fresh and brimming with innovation like you’ve never experienced before.

We’re not afraid to say that our ambitions are super high: we’re setting out to make a huge, content-rich game with a focus on a lot of action and a lot of energy, but let’s leave it at that for now and hopefully it won’t be long before we can share more.

Dave Anthony, Deviation Games’ CEO

In an overview over Deviation Games, Blundell explains in his statement, “Another way of saying Deviator is Renaissance mindset. Deviators are not only passionate about their own discipline, but they love others too. We believe that is what is unique and special about our studio, the culture, the team, and this project.  From experience, young determined studios need rock solid support to thrive.

“That’s why it means so much that PlayStation is partnering with us on our first game. As you all know–having enjoyed the amazing PlayStation Studios portfolio–they know what it takes to make great games. To have a partner like that behind us makes the road ahead simply breathtaking.”
