They’re doing it with Jade Raymond’s Haven, the Bungie-vet-founded Firewalk Studios, and now Sony has announced a partnership with Deviation Games, a new 100-person team founded by Treyarch vets Jason Blundell and Dave Anthony. While the studio’s first “groundbreaking” game has yet to be announced, the way Anthony describes it sure makes it sound like it’s in his old Call of Duty wheelhouse… > When my partner Jason Blundell and I first met decades ago, we often dreamt about having our own studio, making games our way with our own team of like-minded developers, and building a community where lasting friendships are created. That dream has become a reality today. We feel so fortunate to have this incredible opportunity – one for Jason and I to build something completely new from the ground up, to fearlessly innovate and forge an incredible community and legacy.
