"PlayStation-Backed Deviation Games Shuts Down Despite Promises of Financial Security"

Deviation Games, a studio founded by former Call of Duty: Black Ops developers and partnered with PlayStation, has unexpectedly shut down after touting "complete financial security" from their Sony collaboration. The closure comes just a year after signing a contract with PlayStation, leaving their first project unannounced.
