PlayStation Unveils New AAA Studio in Los Angeles

Sony Interactive Entertainment has quietly established a new, 20th first-party studio in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to developing a major, original AAA title for the PlayStation 5. This confirmation comes via a recent job posting for a Project Senior Producer.

The gaming world is abuzz with excitement. PlayStation's first-party studios consistently deliver high-quality, critically acclaimed games, generating significant anticipation for upcoming releases. Recent acquisitions like Housemarque, Bluepoint Games, and Firesprite have further expanded PlayStation's development capabilities, and this mystery studio adds another layer of intrigue.

The identity of the studio's personnel remains shrouded in secrecy. Speculation points to two potential origins: a spin-off team from Bungie, following the July 2024 layoffs that saw 155 Bungie employees transition to Sony Interactive Entertainment, or a team led by industry veteran Jason Blundell.

Possible Origins: Bungie or Blundell?

Blundell, a prominent figure known for his work on Call of Duty: Black Ops, co-founded Deviation Games, a studio aiming to create a AAA PS5 title. However, Deviation Games closed in March 2024. Intriguingly, many former Deviation Games employees joined PlayStation in May 2024, under Blundell's leadership, suggesting a possible connection to this new studio.

Considering the longer gestation period of Blundell's team compared to the Bungie spin-off, it's plausible that the new Los Angeles studio houses Blundell's group. The project they're developing remains unknown, but speculation suggests it might be a continuation or reimagining of Deviation Games' cancelled AAA title.

While an official announcement from Sony may be some time away, the news of this additional first-party studio is a welcome surprise for PlayStation fans, promising another exciting addition to the PlayStation 5's game library in the years to come.
