Sony’s Bend Studio Reportedly Plans a 2027 Reveal and Possible Release for Its Third-Person Co-Op Game, Despite Starting the Project Only in Mid-2025
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- A rumor from MP1st claims Sony-owned Bend Studio will announce and possibly release its next project in 2027, indicating the game is further along than previously thought.
- This contradicts earlier reports that the project only began in June 2025 after Bend Studio canceled an open-world live-service game and cut 30% of its workforce.
- The new game is described as a third-person co-op title, not a live-service game or a Days Gone sequel, which Sony had rejected despite the original's profitability.
- Sony released Days Gone Remastered and additional DLC in April 2025, showing some continued support for the IP, though a planned film adaptation appears stalled.
- Given the co-op nature, the new Bend Studio game may launch on both PC and PlayStation 5, similar to Helldivers.
