I’ve heard that several former Deviation Games employees have set up their own studio at Sony and are working on an undisclosed production. Everyone working there are top notch developers and I hope they create a top notch game […] – Michael Anthony wrote.

Interestingly, Jason Blundell may play an important role in this new studio – Participate in the creation of games in the series Call of duty And a co-founder of Deviation Games who left the company in September 2022.
