Summary

  • A new PlayStation studio has been established by Sony called TeamLFG, with its founders hailing from Halo, Destiny, League of Legends, Roblox and Fortnite.
  • TeamLFG (which stands for ‘looking for group’ rather than the more colloquial interpretation) is based in Bellevue, Washington, and will focus on “action-based gameplay” and “richly social virtual worlds”, although its initial project is described as being “comedic”.
  • The studio’s first game is a team-based action game set in a new science-fantasy universe that draws on fighting games, MOBAs, platformers and life sims, in addition to “frog-type games”.
  • It is probable that the team includes some of the former Bungie employees who were relocated to form a new PlayStation studio as part of Bungie’s 2020 cost-cutting measures.
  • Bungie is currently working on Fate 2 and the Marathon reboot, both of which are live service games.
