[Video] The Legend of Twisted Metal

Sony is laying off people and canceling projects, including Twisted Metal. Firesprite studio worked on the project

• Sony was among the shrinking companies that, despite constantly reporting record profits, are forced to lay off hundreds of workers and cancel various projects
• The new Twisted Metal was also among the projects that came under the knife. It was a service game developed in the dungeons of the Firesprite studio
• We, like many players familiar with the Twisted Metal series, were surprised and upset by this news, because against the backdrop of success series based on Twisted Metal, Sony had a promising project on its hands with a fairly large audience
• What makes the decision to cancel the project even more strange is the success of the session shooter Helldivers 2, which was installed in a matter of days several records for the peak number of players, forcing the developers to redesign the project code so that it could cope with the influx of hundreds of thousands of users
• Perhaps this is due to the failure of Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3, the performance of which was not Sony was very pleased
