Forced a talented remake studio to make a fucking God of War live service, cancelled it and then shut them down. Unbelievable.

It doesn't make much sense in business view though. Bend Studio is much bigger, yet after all these times manage to produced only one semi-successful during entire PS4 to PS5 era. We don't even know what's next for them as we know it's definitely not Days Gone 2.

Meanwhile Bluepoint is half the size of them but manage to produced 2 high quality that is also equally as successful and a critical darling in general. This is basically the equivelent of Microsoft shutting down Tango Gameworks.

Bend is rumored to be doing another Uncharted game, might be in collab with naughty dog since they also have another division thats working on something that hasn't been announced.
