“To set some expectations, I’m not working on a racing game,” he continued. “So sorry, no DRIVECLUB sequel, MotorStorm successor or ONRUSH offshoot. This is something very different to anything I’ve worked on before.”

Driveclub is a racing game developed by Evolution Studios and was released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2014. Former employees of Evolution Studios are also working at Avalanche Liverpool to develop the unannounced title.

Elsewhere, PlayStation has acquired support studio Valkyrie Entertainment, making this the fifth acquisition of 2021. Valkyrie Entertainment is best known for having supported development on popular titles such as Halo Infinite, God of War and its upcoming sequel, Forza Motorsport 7, League of Legends, as well as Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
