Several Bend Studio contractors have reported on their LinkedIn profiles that they will no longer be working at Bend Studio from February 14.
The news comes just two weeks after it was reported that PlayStation had cancelled two of its live service projects, one of which was a live-service God of War game by Bluepoint, while the other appeared to be a live-service military shooter.
The number of those effected is currently unclear, but according to some posts, only a handful of contractors were given full-time opportunities, while others where let go.
Bend Studio’s game cancelled means that the studio has not published a game since Days Gone in 2019, which sold 7.32 million units by February 2022, a number obtained by the Insomniac Games leaks.
With current game development timelines, it means that almost certainly it will be a decade between Days Gone and whatever is next for Bend Studio.
It’s currently unclear on if anyone at Bluepoint, who were working on a live-service God of War title has been effected.
