Was just posted on their Twitter. IIRC, weren't they working on a new AAA action-adventure game for PS5 tied in to a film?
Anyone have an idea what's going on here? I was really looking forward to seeing what that game would be.

Brutal, Sony is ruthless.
To be honest I never played any of their games. Pretty weird that they didn't wait until they released their next game before making the call. We can assume it wasn't going well and got canceled.
Sony seems increasingly less interested on smaller games. 10m+ or bust.

If really it was a < 20 people team, then I'm sure some talent can move to the more robust studios.
I guess their new project was faltering and it was time.
Smaller games and indies can come from third parties.

Not every studio has to be AAA, small games are needed too. I wonder what will happen with Media Molecule.
Because sonys audience don’t care for them. Concrete Genie was a flop even though it was a good game. I doubt people even tried it on ps plus for free.
Kena probably did way more sales than all their games combined. Wouldn’t be surprised if sony just replace them with Ember Lab.
They had 4 years to get something going since Concrete Genie if Sony didn’t like their new game then i could see why they were shuttered. Can’t really afford to start another game at this point
I get the business side of it, it makes more sense to cut deals with indie studios. I just with PlayStation had something like Annapurna Interactive where they would put some money and publish some select indie games themselves.
I'm personally not that into indie games but some of them are great and doing some interesting stuff.
Nothing was announced for 5 years so it's hard to feel any disappointment? We don't even know what they were working on. It was all rumours
Ember Lab would be so much better for the same amount of employees and a great IP. Those students at PixelOpus can find other work easily.
Making room for deviation and square enix im sure.
I don't think Sony is interested in maintaining small studios.
sony seems tired of waiting years for teams to figure out how to make money
Get ready for the concern trolling from people that never bought concrete genie in their life to blame Sony for closing a 'creative' studio in favor of their cinematic games. It's already starting in other places.
Sucks to see but this is reality. I've never played their games and I never see discussion around them.
