After a good decade of idleness, the motorized fighting series Twisted Metal could soon be making a comeback. But even when you’re on the move, plans can sometimes change.
According to our colleagues from Video Game Chronicle, the potential comeback of the long-lost twisted metal saga would still be relevant almost ten years after the apocalypse and revolution episodes were canceled. On the other hand, development would eventually have been entrusted to a studio other than Lucid Games for a while. The failure of their last production would actually have led Sony Interactive Entertainment to come up with new mechanics.
Lucid Games’ live puldiens would no longer be responsible for “New Twisted Metal”. So the developers of one particular Destruction AllStar could have seen the site escape them after the poorly controlled slip of their new license. In fact, the success was so timid that Sony had to quickly resort to bots to animate the game’s servers.
According to the decidedly well-informed sources on the British side, the twisted metal project would have ended up in the hands of a “European first-party studio”.. There is no shortage of competitors in view of the recent complete purchases by the manufacturers Entre Firesprite, Guerilla Games, Housemarque or London Studio.
Keep in mind that the next episode in the motorized series, which debuted on PlayStation in 1995, would be in the form of a free-to-play, according to recent indiscretions. History of Barge Attracting by Wagons? The future will show. Like so many others, the license should benefit from an adaptation for the small screen, because a twisted metal series is also expected to see the light of day in 2023, and the actor is said to have been entrusted with the role of John Doe. Anthony Mackie.
One thing is certain: in order to revive its series, which American gamers care about, Sony intends to … use the eraser! Forgiveness.
