Rumor has it that the Firesprite layoffs led to the end of a Twisted Metal live service game.
There has been talk in the rumor mill for a long time about a Twisted Metal title that is supposed to be a live service game. If you assume that this was actually in the works, then he is now – also according to rumors – dead.
According to Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, the reason why the Twisted Metal live service title has probably been discontinued is the wave of cancellations, which has not stopped at PlayStation. 900 PlayStation employees were laid off across a variety of studios. This also affects Firesprite, where the game in question is said to have been in the works.
This was first announced in 2021 and was originally supposed to be created by Destruction AllStars and Lucid Games, but then went to Firesprite.
