Remedy Entertainment’s got a lot of irons in the fire. The Finnish developer recently confirmed that it has total of five games in development– and one of these, it seems, might be in production in collaboration with Sony, as an upcoming PlayStation exclusive.
Claire Bromley, who’s the global external producer at PlayStation, has been sharing links for job ads at Remedy from the studio’s employees on her LinkedIn profile, and over the past few weeks, has shared posts from Remedy’s COO Christopher Schmitz, communications director Thomas Puha, and audio designer Sam Hughes.
In and of itself, of course, that doesn’t have to mean anything, especially since a quick glance at Bromley’s posting history shows that she has often shared posts from third parties on her profile in the past. That said, interestingly enough, known insider Shpeshal Ed recently took to Twitter to claim that to the best of his knowledge, this rumour “is real”, and added in another tweet that the game is likely going to be a full PlayStation exclusive.
Shpeshal Ed has been a credible source of leaks and rumours in the past, and even though he tends to mostly stick with Xbox-related stuff, he has at times leaked details on PlayStation news as well (most recently he leaked that Final Fantasy 7 Remake would be the PS Plus game in March before it was announced). That said, it’s best to take this with a grain of salt for now, at least until such time some more information comes our way.
Out of the five games currently in development at Remedy Entertainment, one is known to be the upcoming Xbox exclusive CrossfireX. Two more are going to be published by Epic Games, and one of these, according to recent rumours, is Alan Wake 2.
