Deviation Games, the studio founded by former Call of Duty vets three years ago, has announced its closure without any project to hold to its name.

Announced back in 2021, the studio was founded by former Treyarch Game Director Dave Anthony and Co-Studio Head of Treyarch Jason Blundell. Deviation was revealed to be working on a new IP and was developing it in collaboration with Sony.

Unfortunately, that seems to be over with now, as Kriste Stull, Deviation Games’ Chief Human Resources and Operations Officer posted the following message on her LinkedIn:

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Deviation Games. I want to express my deepest gratitude to our entire team. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, and contributions to Deviation; I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with each and every one of you.

To the entire video game industry, we will be hosting a networking event, and we would love for any/all companies/studios hiring to participate. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in attending.

To all the Deviators out there, we will always cherish the memories we made together. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Go get ’em!”
