Sonyhas canceled two unannounced live service games.
According toBloomberg, a Sony spokesperson confirmed that they were canceled “following a recent review.
They were in development at two PlayStation studios, Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games.
Bend Studio is known for developing PlayStation exclusives, most recentlyDays Gone.
Although the games have been canceled, neither studio will be shut down.
We are working closely with each studio to determine what are the next projects.
The likes ofFortniteorDestiny 2provide a constant revenue stream and can keep players engaged for years via frequent content updates.
That said, an extremely crowded market makes putting out a new live service a very risky endeavor.
Last year Sony launchedHelldivers 2, which sold well and is the perfect example of a live-service hit.
It seems safe to assume that these cancellations are measures to try and avoid a similar disaster.
