Apparently, this is the same project in the new universe.
Sony Bend studio is working on an AAA-class game service, as follows from the company’s vacancy. The studio is currently looking for a project manager with experience in releasing such games.
The job posting does not mention any details about the game. An interesting point: the manager must have experience in transforming studios producing traditional games into companies specializing in service games.
Perhaps the Sony Bend game is the same project that was mentioned by the studio back in 2022. At that time, the developers were working on a game with a multiplayer mode and an open world, the events of the game took place in a new universe.
Sony Bend has been developing a new project for several years. The studio's last game, Days Gone, was released back in 2019, and since then there has been almost no information about Sony Bend's activities.
At some point, the developers wanted to work on an Uncharted prequel, and then allegedly involved Naughty Dog in the development of a multiplayer game. Most likely, we were talking about a project that was canceled at the end of 2023.
