Jason Blundell Leaves Deviation Games Louis Castle signs on

[Gizmo_Duck]

pretty big departure, he was the other big name along with Dave Anthony, both Black Ops vets. Seems Blundell left, some are assuming he's going back to Treyarch to work on Zombies stand-alone a game as director. There's also a theory that Sony probably acquired Deviation, and he took the buy out and left like the Co-Founder of Haven before they got bought out.



anyways Louis Castle, who co-created Command and Conquer. They also signed on a bunch of other big talent as you can see by the tweet. Tony Flame also joins, It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out, theres a lot of veteran CoD people on staff.

Closing multiple studios in a week, no games with even a release window

Imagine the threads and posts if this was xbox world

I hope people don't get weird about these layoffs because at the end of the day, there's a human side of the industry.

I'm hoping this game isn't cancelled.

The FPS landscape is hurting right now after MW2/Warzone 2 was supposed to take the top spot and disappointed. Apex is still the top shooter but Respawn has been fumbling the game for over a year by not delivering promised features, lack of content, and the huge focus on sales. Siege, Valorant, CSGO, etc will always have active communities since they cater to their niches, but these games are getting super old now. Overwatch 2 is just Overwatch 1.5. BF series has been irrelevant for like 3 games. Halo is dead too.

90 staff gone? Game is gone, studio will be closed soon.

Playstation hedged their bets between Deviation and Firewalk and the latter won.

They don't need all these FPS, keeping in mind they also acquired Bungie.

Crossfire X and Redfall

Redfall > Horizon

And lets be real here, Redfall was never a must have. Hopefully any game is great, what made you think Redfall was the game changer tho?

Yes, and Bungie will fill the void by..... making the same Multiplatform title they been making anyway
Meanwhile, Starfield is about to change the way we view games
