Bend Studio, a Playstation First Party Development Studio, Talks Next IP and Unveils a New Logo.

Playstation’s studio located in the Pacific Northwest mentions they are working on a new IP in a recent article from Playstation Blogpost. Bend Studio is most notable as the studio that brought us Syphon Filter in the early 2000s, and then later pivoting to the PSP and Vita, where the handheld Uncharted: Golden Abyss made its appearance. Most recently, the studio brought us Days Gone in 2019, for the Playstation 4. And speaking of, in the posted article, Bend Studio mentions they 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.”

It’s exciting to think about what the first party studio could be cooking up. Sony doesn’t have a true first party game as a service, which would fit perfectly under the description given. Whatever they are planning, it sounds like a good time with friends potentially building forts and defending against zombies. I’m not holding my breath though, as their last release in Days Gone had come out seven years after their previous title Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, released for the Playstation Vita. Hopefully we don’t have that long for this new title.

Oh and of course, Bend revealed their spiffy new logo.
