It’s Wednesday. I mean, right now it is… could be Saturday when you read this. Who knows. Anyway, here’s the scoop: PlayStation’s got a new studio buddy. Yep, meet teamLFG. Cool name, right? They won’t bite—well, maybe the execs will if you mess up their coffee order.
So, this group of devs, like some sort of gaming Voltron, just became part of the PlayStation family. They’re working on some multiplayer thingy inspired by… get this, “frog-type games.” Whatever those are. I mean, frogs? Seriously, my brain went straight to Frogger but I guess it’s more than that? Or less. Confusing.
Sony’s bigwig, Hermen Hulst, is showing off his new pride and joy on the PS Blog. It’s like he’s introducing a new baby, all smiles and paperwork. But, you know, better keep swimming or you might just end up feeding the fish in Sony’s occasionally shark-infested waters.
And what’s teamLFG stand for? Looking For Group, not that I-have-to-censor-this version you might’ve thought. Based in Bellevue, Washington, this crew’s got folks from Destiny, Halo, and League of Legends. They’re like a rock band getting back together after a messy break. Bungie’s got its hands in this too—like they’re spinning plates at a circus.
Oh, they’re all about making action-packed games that feel incredible in those tiny, fleeting moments and virtual worlds where friendships pop up like weird mushrooms. At least, that’s their vibe. No pressure.
Their big project is this team-based action game. Sounds like they’re throwing fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and those mysterious frog-type games into a blender. Out comes this comedic world filled with mythic science-fantasy goodness.
Frog-type games, though? Seriously, what the ribbit does that mean? Imagine a mashup—a tad Tekken, a smidge Mario, dabbling in Dota 2 and, just maybe, starring everyone’s favorite ‘what-was-that-ringtone-craze-again?’—Crazy Frog. Are we getting a game full of frogs? Maybe not. But hey, there might be playtests. Get ready to jump in and give feedback, they’re all ears.
Think PlayStation’s on the right track here, mixing frogs and Fortnite vibes? Curious about what teamLFG’s gonna whip up? Kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Spill your thoughts below.
