"Sony Cancels Twisted Metal Game and Slashes Hundreds of Jobs Amid Mass Layoffs"
Sony has initiated mass layoffs across various first-party studios, including Firesprite Games, which reportedly had a Twisted Metal live-service game in development that has now been canceled. The game was in early stages and had not been officially greenlit. This comes as part of a larger wave of layoffs affecting 900 employees across multiple Sony 1st-party studios, with London Studio being shut down entirely. Sony's examination of its upcoming projects has led to the cessation of production for several titles, including the Twisted Metal project.
