Sony Opens New In-House Game Studio Led by Former Call of Duty Developer
Sony has announced the establishment of a new game studio, Dark Outlaw Games, which is part of the PlayStation Studios division. The studio is headed by Jason Blundell, who previously worked at Treyarch and contributed to the Call of Duty series, as well as being the creator of the Zombies mode.
In 2020, he left Treyarch and co-founded Deviation Games. However, the studio did not manage to release its first project and was closed in March 2024.
Now, he is leading Dark Outlaw Games. In an interview, he confirmed that the studio is actively recruiting a team. It has not yet been disclosed what project they are working on, but Blundell noted that the studio is waiting for the right moment to make an announcement.
I’ve had the amazing opportunity to create a new studio within PlayStation Studios for Sony. The studio is called Dark Outlaw. 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. 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.
Previously, we reported that Sony announced a beta program where players will be able to test upcoming games for PlayStation and PC.
