Yup, for those who aren't aware. they have a little experience in survival horror. In the form of a title called the persistence, a VR stealth, rogue like survival horror game.

 

[ElCasual]

Wait , but the rumor said that they are makin the Twisted Metal game.

Wait , but the rumor said that they are makin the Twisted Metal game.

They are also working on the Horizon VR game, so they must be pretty busy to say the least

FireSprite are huge. One of Sony's largest studios. They have people who worked on Killzone, Horizon, WipEout etc

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looking forward to hearing more about this!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

"Narrative" meaning it's gonna be something like Until Dawn? Hype if true.

Firesprite has over 265 employees. I could be wrong on the figure and it's twice that as of now. Plus one of their projects was a dark narrative driven project. I'm gonna bet it's that. they definitely have alot of stuff in the oven that's for sure. Btw small little screenshot from their previous horror title "the persistence"

Not yet they just acquired the studio. Oh you meant a game title

I think Just story driven so not an rpg

 

[geary]

Sillent Hill....Kojima undercover...mark my words!

 

[Nautilus]

That's hype, being quite honest.

They are working on 3 games at once?

 

[skit_data]

Busy studio, indeed.
Are they really only ~250 people over there?

They seem to act like a support studio on roids from the sound of it.

Actually they are now 265 in terms of employees.

Yes indeed, horizon: call of the mountain, this, and I think a mobile title and the rumored free to play twisted metal title. this studio is one of sony's largest out of their first party developers.

i think they are over 300 people right now

and Call of The Mountain is being co-developed with Guerrilla so the team for that is probably not that huge

 

[TonyK]

I love horror games and I played tons of them and I never I found a single one AAA narrative driven horror game. "Narrative adventures" are AA by nature.

No genre is "AA" by nature.

I hope there is a dual-pack so I can get the complete story in one shot.

According to the Firesprite website, they're hiring for a...

1. Narrative Adventure

2. Action Shooter

3. Multiplayer Action w/ Vehicles

4. Mobile Game

Most of their positions are for narrative adventure openings which could mean the project is early in development or that they have 2 narrative adventures being worked on (Horror game, Call of the Mountain VR). The Action Shooter project has a bunch of multiplayer positions listed as well, so that's likely their big F2P multiplayer FPS game.

It looks like they have 4 or 5 games in the works.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Nice! I definitely don't want them all to work on live service games. SP4lyfe

 

[UnNamed]

Videogame industry should aim at a fast paced arcade-style games.

"We are looking for a narrative director to join our development team for a AAA narrative driven horror-adventure game in Unreal 5," it reads.

"The narrative director is responsible for the project storytelling, helping establish & consider the game's universe and lore, with responsibility for the quality implementation of narrative content for project milestones and ultimately the game's release."

This smells like pre-production. And calling it a AAA game means like 4 years of development, so you won't see this until like 2027.

Also, to the people joking about that "Abandoned" game. Do you realize that probably several people got scammed a lot of money?

Could still be a live service game on the multiplayer front.

 

[Elios83]

Firesprite is a huge team, the fact they're making a AAA narrative based horror game with UE5 is a great news for me.
It's basically Sony's first party return to horror since Siren?
