""I've had the amazing opportunity to create a new studio within PlayStation Studios for Sony. The studio is called Dark Outlaw. We've been working away in the shadows for a while, when we've got something to talk about we'll step out into the light.""
""It's such a privilege to be able to do it with Sony as a new first-party studio. Sony doesn't start up first-party studios all the time, so to have that privilege is humbling.""
""The initial budget for that project was over $200 million, but Sony later pulled funding amid a messy development cycle leading that startup to unravel as well back in 2024.""
Sony has announced the closure of Dark Outlaw Games, a studio founded by Jason Blundell, known for his work on Call of Duty Zombies. Blundell had previously co-founded Deviation Games, which faced funding issues leading to its unraveling. The closure of Dark Outlaw Games follows the recent shutdown of Bluepoint Games, highlighting a trend of Sony closing first-party studios. Blundell expressed pride in creating the studio, emphasizing the privilege of working with Sony, but the studio's fate reflects challenges in the PlayStation 5 generation.
