More detals about the game will be shared at a later date, and for now, the only info we know is it’s a four-player co-op shooter from the creator of Left 4 Dead, which is enough for a lot of people to get excited about.
Sony and Bad Robot Games did offer their mandatory statements as part of the announcement.
“Partnering with Sony Interactive Entertainment allows us to bring our new IP to life, with an expansive vision for this new universe. With the support of PlayStation, we hope to deliver a bold, innovative experience that is truly special for players. I could not be more excited that Mike Booth is at the creative helm, crafting a cooperative adventure that will lead to unforgettable moments with friends.” – Anna Sweet, CEO of Bad Robot Games
“We’re greatly impressed with the talent Bad Robot Games has assembled at their studio, and are thrilled to partner with them to help produce and publish their upcoming game. Their unique creative voice and passion for innovating across all forms of interactive entertainment perfectly aligns with SIE’s mission to craft experiences that resonate deeply with players. We can’t wait for gamers to step into the world they’ve been building.” – Christian Svensson, VP and Head of 2P/3P Content Ventures & Strategic Initiatives at Sony Interactive Entertainment
Needless to say, we’re keeping a close eye on this given Booth’s past work. We can never have enough co-op shooters, right? The last co-op game we got from former Left 4 Dead devs was Back 4 Blood, which was developed by Turtle Rock Studios. While there’s no announcement, we found out through our reporting that Back 4 Blood 2 is in development under the codename “Gobi 2.”
Not only that, but Back 4 Blood developer Turtle Rock was also, at one time, developing a sequel to Evolve , which has since been scrapped.
Once we know more info about Bad Robot Games’ debut project, we’ll let our readers know. In other PlayStation news, Sony launched the PSN Store End of Year sale this week, which houses a fair amount of AAA titles.
