Sony has revealed a new developer that’s joined PlayStation Studios, originating from Bungie and working on a new team-based action game.
The studio, teamLFG, comprises industry veterans from the Destiny and Halo studio, as well as developers from League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and newcomers.
Last year, Bungie laid off 220 staff, representing roughly 17 percent of its workforce. At the time, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons stated one of its early-development projects would be moved to PlayStation Studios to form a new studio.
“The ‘LFG’ in ‘teamLFG’ stands for ‘Looking For Group’,” explains a message from the studio on the PlayStation Blog (as opposed to “let’s f**king go”).
“We are driven by a mission to create games where players can find friendship, community, and belonging. We want our players to feel excited when they log on to discover their teammates already hanging out online. We want our players to recognise familiar names and to make myths and memes out of each other. We want our players to love remembering that one time where they pulled off That Play that changed the whole story of the match. As we say on the team – dat’s da good stuff.”
