Summary

  • Sony’s PlayStation Studios adds teamLFG, focused on multiplayer games.
  • teamLFG working on a team-based action title with multiple game inspirations.
  • Launch of their game is not imminent, looking to involve the community in development.

Sony has welcomed a new member into the PlayStation Studios family, which interestingly hails from the team that originally emerged from Bungie – a studio that Sony purchased back in July 2022 for approximately $3.6 billion.

The studio goes by the name teamLFG, a term commonly used among online gamers as an abbreviation for “Looking For Gamers” or “teammates.” Essentially, it’s a way for players to find groups to play with online. The same concept applies to the newly-acquired studio; their LFG term is deeply rooted in their current development project.

PlayStation’s Newly-Acquired Studio Is Focusing On Multiplayer Games

The announcement makes it clear that the company is developing a multiplayer video game, providing few specifics at this time. Based in Bellevue, Washington, teamLFG has staff members working both in-office and remotely across the United States and Canada. Notably, team members have previously contributed to popular games like Destiny, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room. Given this background, it seems that the studio is focusing on a new game with an emphasis on online multiplayer.

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that our mission is to create dynamic multiplayer action games that offer a captivating experience for endless hours of play. We aspire to collaborate closely with our community, inviting players to join us in the development journey through early access playtests. It’s essential for us to remain adaptable and responsive, not only during the pre-launch phase but also throughout the game’s live service as we continually expand the game and our community over many years.

The initial game developed by the studio is an exciting action title focused on teamwork, blending elements from fighting games, platformers, Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas (MOBA), life simulation games, and games featuring frog-like characters. This unique creation will unfold in a science-fantasy setting filled with humor and laughter.

Absolutely, any initiative related to Sony that centers around the online world will inevitably involve discussions about Concord and its challenging launch. It’s crucial that Sony considers this when they officially unveil their upcoming online-centric game.

You probably won’t see this game title unveiled in the near future, since it’s still under wraps and not yet ready for public viewing. If it turns out to be a more compact game compared to what PlayStation typically releases, then maybe we won’t have to wait too long.
