They also added that the company will be “working closely” with Bluepoint and Bend to determine what their next projects will be as these live service games are finalized before they become available.

For every Horizon Online in Guerilla, The Last of Us Online. That's a pretty shocking success rate, and it's not a good use of the first-party studio firepower PlayStation has amassed, even if it's giving away some of it, which is frustratingly typical of the recent fad of layoffs in the games industry .
