Sony Establishes Dark Outlaw Games as New PlayStation Studio

Led by Call of Duty veteran Jason Blundell, the Los Angeles-based studio is in its early development phase with no announced projects yet.

Dark Outlaw Games is Sony's newest first-party studio under the PlayStation Studios umbrella, confirmed by Jason Blundell in a recent interview.
Blundell, best known for co-creating Call of Duty Zombies, will serve as the studio head and director, shaping its direction and team.
The studio, founded in 2024 and based in Los Angeles, is currently hiring and focusing on team-building for its first, unannounced project.
Dark Outlaw Games marks a rare move by Sony to establish a new first-party studio, emphasizing its strategic expansion of first-party offerings.
Blundell's prior studio, Deviation Games, also partnered with Sony but shut down in 2024 without releasing a game, adding context to his new venture.
