PlayStation’s New First-Party Studio Is Called Dark Outlaw Games

by

Under the umbrella of PlayStation Studios, Sony has established a fresh, in-house development team named Dark Outlaw Games. This new venture is being overseen by Jason Blundell, who previously spearheaded the Call of Duty Zombies division.

In an interview with Jeff Gerstmann, conducted on Monday, Blundell revealed the official name of the studio.

“The studio is called Dark Outlaw,” Blundell said. “We’ve been working away in the shadows for a while, when we’ve got something to talk about we’ll step out into the light.”

In regards to the confidential nature of the studio’s development, Blundell emphasizes that the focus is on the game itself rather than the studio. He further stated that being under Sony’s protective umbrella is a valuable advantage.

“It’s such a privilege to be able to do it with Sony as a new first-party studio, Sony doesn’t start up first-party studios all the time, so to have that privilege is humbling,” Blundell said while adding that the studio is making new hirings for the development of its first game.

Those new hires could be for the unannounced live service multiplayer game that began making the rounds. According to the recent job postings, this new game is still early in its development—that’s even if it’s the same game at all.

Most details surrounding the studio, aside from its name and who’s leading it, remain…dark.
