Last year, reputable sources indicated that Sony was looking at producing aTwisted Metalreboot game to coincide with the TV series based on the franchise. It then came to light that theTwisted Metalreboot was in development at Lucid Games, the studio behind the poorly-received PS5 exclusiveDestruction AllStars. The latest reports indicated that theTwisted Metalreboot was switching developers, and now we may know exactly who is behind the new game.
VGC originally reported thattheTwisted Metalreboot was swapping developers, though at the time was unable to share the identity of the new developer. VGC has since revealed that theTwisted Metalreboot is supposedly being developed by Firesprite, a studio that has primarily worked on virtual reality games for PlayStation VR and is even developingHorizon: Call of the Mountain, one of the first games revealed for PlayStation VR2.

Since Firesprite has worked almost exclusively on VR games, some may be scratching their heads at the studio being handed the reigns of theTwisted Metalreboot. However, fans should withhold judgment for now, especially since the game hasn’t even been announced in an official capacity. Before getting too excited about theTwisted Metalreboot in one direction or the other, fans should wait to actually see the game in action.
Anyone worried about the quality of theTwisted Metalreboot likely has nothing to worry about, as PlayStation takes great pride in its exclusive releases and is unlikely to release a game that doesn’t meet its expectations. Not only that, but Sony clearly has confidence in Firesprite, asPlayStation Studios acquired Firespritelast year.
As it stands, very little is known about theTwisted Metalreboot or what it will entail. It’s possible that the work Lucid Games has done on the project will carry over to the Firesprite version, but it’s also possible that Firesprite will be starting from scratch. Rumors indicate that thenewTwisted Metalgame will be free-to-play, but that can’t be verified without any kind of official announcement about the project.
We also know thatTwisted Metalcreator David Jaffe is not involved in the reboot, but otherwise the game is mostly a mystery. If the rumors about aTwisted Metalreboot are true and it’s accurate that the game is looking to release alongside the TV series in 2023, then one has to imagine that more information on the project will come sooner rather than later.
