Often lauded as one of the best third-person shooter franchises in the gaming industry, Gears of War holds a special place in the hearts of players worldwide. A significant portion of the credit should go to People Can Fly, the Polish studio also contributing to the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day. However, that is not all that’s happening, as the studio has revealed an exciting new collaboration with PlayStation in the shooter space in Project Delta.
In an official press release, People Can Fly announced a partnership with PlayStation to develop a prototype game based on an intellectual property owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
As part of this agreement, People Can Fly will serve as a work-for-hire developer, meaning they will be creating the game on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment, which will act as the publisher. The studio will receive financial compensation for their involvement, though the exact amount has not been disclosed to the public.
With the announcement of this collaboration, speculation is mounting over whether People Can Fly will be taking the lead in development or simply assisting another PlayStation development team. As of now, Sony Interactive Entertainment has yet to comment on or reveal further details about Project Delta.
Given People Can Fly’s impressive track record with high-action shooters like Bulletstorm and Outriders, their involvement in Project Delta suggests the game may feature a similarly intense and dynamic gameplay experience. That could very see the return of beloved franchises like Killzone or Resistance as the studios responsible for them are busy with new projects. This will please many hoping for the return of these shooters, and fill the gap in the ecosystem.
However, until Sony or People Can Fly provide more details, fans can only speculate on what this mysterious new title will bring to PlayStation’s gaming lineup.
