Bend Studio’s Shelved Mirror Pond Shooter Leaks Online Again

Fresh files surface from Bend Studio’s unannounced Mirror Pond live-service shooter, suggesting a near-future third-person military title that was scrapped amid 2025 restructuring and layoffs. The leaked animator work shows a character with long firearms, drones, knives, and turrets, reinforcing the project’s near-future setting and ties to the Syphon Filter era. Bend Studio began hiring again for a new unannounced multiplayer project in 2025, prompting talk that Mirror Pond could be revived, though a Days Gone sequel remains unlikely.

Bend Studio’s Cancelled Live-Service Project Mirror Pond Emerges in Early Animations

A former Bend Studio employee says Mirror Pond, the open-world live-service shooter canceled after Sony’s restructuring, stalled after about three years of development. Leaked showreel animations depict a military-themed third‑person game with drones, detachable weapons, and vehicle traversal, built on Days Gone-inspired systems with a proprietary/Decima-like engine. The resumes hint at a large enemy roster, 100+ weapons, multiplayer progression, and extensive open-world content, but the project never released as Bend Studio moves on to a new project.
