Sony Interactive Entertainment has made some interesting hires recently, including former Call of Duty producer Jason Blundell and several ex-Deviation Games employees. The circumstances surrounding these hires are raising some eyebrows, especially considering that Deviation Games was reportedly working on a AAA PS5 game for Sony. Deviation Games, which was founded by former Call of Duty veterans (Blundell included), initially signed a partnership agreement with Sony to develop a highly anticipated PS5 project. However, despite an official announcement on the PlayStation Blog, no further updates were provided, and Blundell eventually left the studio he helped create. This led to rumors circulating about the cancellation of Deviation Games' supposed PS5 exclusive. A Twitter user and industry insider named Zuby_Tech recently made an intriguing discovery
Not only has Blundell joined Sony, but a significant number of former Deviation Games employees have also been hired by the company. What's more, it appears that many of them left Deviation Games around the same time as Blundell. This development naturally raises questions about the current status of Deviation Games and what they might be working on, assuming they still exist. Fans are also left wondering if the rumored shooter game, supposedly in development for the PS5, is one of the live service games that Sony has decided to cancel. As the story continues to unfold, it seems that Sony has quietly made some strategic moves behind the scenes. With the addition of Blundell and the Deviation Games team, it remains to be seen what exciting projects might be in the works for PlayStation fans.
