Gameblog and GAMEWAVE say the project is being discussed through reporting based on anonymous sources connected to Bend Studio and referenced via MP1ST. The reports place a possible reveal in 2027, although neither publication presents an official announcement from Bend Studio or PlayStation.
The project follows the cancellation of an earlier Bend Studio game. Gameblog identifies that canceled project by the reported codename Mirror Pond, while both reports make clear that the new title is not expected to be a sequel to Days Gone, according to the same unconfirmed reporting.
The clearest description of the rumored game concerns its format. Both Gameblog and GAMEWAVE characterize it as a third-person experience with a cooperative component rather than a game-as-a-service or live-service title. That would represent a different direction from the canceled project, which the reports describe as having been intended around service-based multiplayer elements.
The reports also mention a possible 2027 release, but that timing remains an objective or expectation rather than an established date. Gameblog presents the project as a possible new PlayStation exclusive, while the supplied material does not independently confirm its platforms or formal exclusivity.
For now, the project’s title, platform lineup, detailed gameplay and official development status remain unknown in the available evidence. The reports provide no named source or primary documentation for the alleged leak beyond anonymous sources referenced through MP1ST, leaving a formal reveal as the key outstanding confirmation.
