Just a few days ago, the purchase of Fabrik Games by his former colleagues from Frisprite Studios and his subsequent entry into the PlayStation Studios family was formalized, and there is already speculation about the next game from the British company. The team would be developing a triple A budget sci-fi horror game, apart from collaborating on the Firesprite VR game set in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn.
This idea comes from a job offer in which the studio is looking for a junior level designer to work on a «exciting AAA sci-fi / horror project»As part of a «Small collaborative team» working on «big projects». Part of the requirements for this offer is knowledge of Unreal Engine 4, experience in first person shooter games and interest in the horror genre.
With this very vague description, it could be anything, even Silent Hill would fit in there one way or another and the latest rumors about Konami’s IP spoke of a studio change within PlayStation, although it was also related to Bloober Team. In any case, it seems to be a traditional game and not a VR game, a specialty of Firesprite Studios.
With the purchase of Nixxes, Firesprite Studios, which in turn has acquired Fabrik Games, and the purchase of Bluepoint Games, which was finally made official yesterday. PlayStation Studios has added four new teams to its portfolio in a matter of a few months. We will see what projects each one has in hand and how they surprise the players of the PlayStation house with their proposals for the next year 2022 or the years to come. At the moment there is no game announced by any of the companies beyond the usual rumors and small clues, like the one that concerns us in this news.
