Sony Cancels Twisted Metal Game Amid Major Restructuring and Layoffs

The decision to cancel the live-service game and lay off 900 employees is part of Sony's reevaluation of its live-service game strategy.

Sony has canceled a Twisted Metal live-service game amid a massive restructuring that includes laying off 900 employees.
The game, in development at Firesprite, was still in early stages and had not been officially greenlit.
Other PlayStation studios affected by the layoffs include Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games, and London Studio, which has been shut down entirely.
The layoffs and cancellations are part of Sony's reevaluation of its live-service game strategy, following other recent cancellations like The Last of Us multiplayer spin-off.
Despite the cancellations, some live-service projects like the Horizon online game are still in development.
