Jason Blundell announces Dark Outlaw Games studio

eurogamer.net —

Jason Blundell, a veteran of the Call of Duty franchise, has officially announced his new PlayStation first-party studio, named Dark Outlaw Games. This follows his departure from Deviation Games, which closed in March 2024 after significant layoffs. Blundell confirmed the studio's formation in an interview, stating that Dark Outlaw has been quietly developing a new project with many former Deviation employees. He emphasized the focus on creating a game rather than promoting the studio itself. This announcement comes as PlayStation Studios undergoes changes, moving away from a live-service strategy. Several projects, including games from Naughty Dog and Insomniac, have been canceled in recent months.
