PlayStation has given a small preview of its next game, revealing that Bad Robot, the production company founded by J.J. Abrams, and Mike Booth, the creator of Left 4 Dead, are collaborating on an exclusive title. While details are still scarce, Sony is enthusiastic about this new partnership.
Mike Booth has had an interesting career path, starting at Valve before moving to Blizzard and eventually landing at Bad Robot. This isn’t the first time reports have surfaced about a partnership between the two. JJ Abrams announced Bad Robot’s entry into video games back in 2018, and by late 2020, Mike Booth was confirmed as the head of their gaming division. While a new game was planned under Booth’s leadership, details have been scarce – until recently.
Mike Booth and Bad Robot’s Unannounced Game is Set to Be a PlayStation Exclusive
Sony officially announced a partnership, but details about the new game are scarce. We know it will be a four-player co-op shooter, but even the title remains a mystery. The biggest news is that this will be a completely new game, rather than a continuation of existing franchises like Mike Booth’s Left 4 Dead or Bad Robot’s Cloverfield, Star Trek, or Overlord. While some fans might have preferred a familiar series, the promise of something original is still exciting. Anna Sweet, CEO of Bad Robot Games, said they aim to create a unique and memorable experience with the support of PlayStation, and she’s thrilled to have Mike Booth leading the creative development of this cooperative adventure designed for unforgettable moments with friends.

Sweet’s comments about the PlayStation deal sound positive, but they don’t offer many specifics. This is understandable – Sony likely wants to keep details under wraps until they’re ready for a full announcement. However, it’s still unknown when that announcement will happen. Sony’s official statement only said that more information about the game will be revealed sometime in the future, leaving everyone wondering exactly when that will be.
As a huge fan, I’m so excited to hear that PlayStation is backing this project! It sounds like the team is aiming for something really new and amazing, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with. It feels like it’s going to be a truly special game!
Don’t expect to hear much about the project Mike Booth is directing for a while. However, with The Game Awards coming up soon, this recent announcement might be a hint of a larger reveal at the event – though that’s just a guess, so it’s best not to get too excited. It’s notable that Sony confirmed the game will only be available on the PS5. Considering rumors suggest the PS6 might launch in 2027, Sony emphasizing the PS5 exclusivity could mean the game is nearing completion, potentially within a year or two. While Booth has been with Bad Robot Games for several years, the game itself may still be early in development. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait and see when Sony decides to fully reveal what Bad Robot and Mike Booth are working on.
