Firesprite Studio’s final outing (and first beneath the PlayStation Studio’s umbrella) was Horizon: Name Of The Mountain, the PlayStation VR2 launch recreation that to at the present time nonetheless stands as one of many solely occasions Sony has utilized a first-party IP for its second-generation VR platform.
Since Name Of The Mountain’s launch nevertheless, a lot of the information we’ve heard out of Firesprite hasn’t precisely been the most effective. First the information that Firesprite had been impacted by layoffs, which noticed Name Of The Mountain’s director made redundant, and shortly after these first layoff calls got here a report which alleged that Firesprite operated with a really poisonous office tradition, which was already driving expertise from the studio, layoffs or not.
So far as what’s subsequent from Firesprite although, as lately as final month we realized from a job itemizing that the studio is engaged on a “darkish, story-driven narrative journey.” In the present day, noticed by MP1st, it appears like a further degree to this darkish, story-driven narrative journey is that it’s primarily based off an already established IP.
It’s after all unclear what that IP is, however no less than this narrows it down a bit as to which IP’s this might imply, particularly if its one thing from Sony’s personal library.
