Just over a month after Sony confirmed the closure of its renowned remaster studio Bluepoint Games, it’s now pulled the plug on Dark Outlaw Games, founded by Call of Duty veteran Jason Blundell and announced to the world just a year ago.
Word of the closure first appeared on Resetera, which said Dark Outlaw was still in the “early stages” of work on an unannounced project. Very shortly after, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said the same thing in a post on Bluesky. Both Schreier and the Resetera message said Sony had also laid off an undisclosed number of employees: Resetera said the number of employees let go is “small,” while Schreier pegged it at around 50.
A Sony spokesperson confirmed the closure in a statement provided to PC Gamer. “Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Studio Business Group has made several strategic adjustments to support long-term sustainability,” the spokesperson said. “As part of this process, there were limited workforce reductions across select teams. We greatly appreciate the contributions of all those impacted.”
