People Can Fly, the developer best known for their involvement with Bulletstorm as well as the upcoming Gears of War: E Day, have now signed a deal with Sony to develop a new game for PlayStation. This project, while still not known, will be based on an existing PlayStation IP.
Details on the project remain scarce for the project thus far, only being known at this point as Project Delta. What we do know is that Sony holds the intellectual property to the IP, stoking some hopes that a long-dormant franchise such as Killzone or Resistance might be about to make a comeback, but that remains to be seen.
News of this collaboration between People Can Fly and Sony comes via a report published by the developer. In it they state that they have entered into a work-for-hire agreement with the publisher, not an uncommon thing for People Can Fly to do as they have with Microsoft and Square Enix in the past.
There are a lot of franchises that People Can Fly could be working on, making it hard to speculate. Given though that among the many projects developed by the studio, they have worked on a large amount of Third Person Shooters it might be something in that vein. Last year, Sony’s game-of-the-year-winning platformer Astro Bot made references to a lot of IPs that have a history with PlayStation So there is a clambering for long-forgotten gems.
In 2024 the studio suffered Lay-offs to the tune of 120 employees, stating these positions would either be terminated or suspended. Shortly before this the studio canceled an upcoming co-op action RPG it had in development codenamed Project Dagger. after Publisher Take-Two dropped the project.
Besides this unknown title and Gears of War: E Day for Xbox, People Can Fly still has a few other projects in development. Project Echo is being developed with PUBG publisher Krafton, while their other projects, Project Bifrost, Project Bison, and Project Victoria are all being self-published.
