Remember Psygnosis? The former PlayStation first-party studio that developed notable hits such as the WipEout, Destruction Derby and more? Former studio members based in Liverpool have banded together to form Starlight Games, and they are working on a “futuristic sports title” among other things.

In the press release, it mentions how Starlight is led by industry vet Gary Nichols, and has a senior management team comprised of WipEout co-creator Nick Burcombe, and co-creator of Skate Andy Santos (who also directed Horizon: Call of the Mountain), and Production Director Ben Cronin. The studio has been set up to develop a new IP that focuses on innovative gameplay experiences that are also visually stunning.

For today, the studio confirmed that three projects are in development, and the most exciting out of the three (at least for me) is the futuristic sports game.

While the “futuristic sports title” has no title as of now, we did get a snazzy new teaser featuring some of what looks like the players garbed in uniform and looking all futuristic-like.

“Welcome to the future of sports… Stay tuned, over the coming months, Starlight Games will announce an exciting new game developed in Unreal Engine 5, which is being directed by WipEout co-creator Nick Burcombe.”

The first project coming from the studio is House of Golf 2 set for release this summer on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, which also has a short teaser to give players a peek at what’s to come.

Lastly, the studio also confirmed that they are working on a still-untitled sci-fi rogue-lite action experience that will be revealed soon.

With all the studio shutdowns happening worldwide, I’m glad to see one sprout one with multiple projects in development. Let’s hope Starlight Games’ titles will be worth the wait.

Once we know more about the futuristic sports title or the rogue-lite, we’ll let our readers know.
