Former Bungie devs form teamLFG at PlayStation Studios

Last year, Bungie announced a massive round of job cuts, eliminating over 200 roles. At the time, the company had confirmed that rather than getting fired, a small group of employees would join PlayStation Studios to continue working on a new game. Now, months later, teamLFG has formed. 

teamLFG is a new studio at PlayStation Studios. It is founded by former Destiny and Halo developers as well as a few devs from franchises like League of Legends and Fortnite. The team’s first game is underway, and it appears to be the same project that Sony took over from Bungie when layoffs were announced in 2024.

Like Bungie, teamLFG is based in Bellevue, Washington, although the studio does employ a few remote workers throughout the US and Canada. As explained in the announcement blog, the “LFG” in teamLFG stands for Looking for Group, a common phrase in multiplayer gaming, especially MMOs.

With that carefully planned name in mind, it makes sense that teamLFG will be one of PlayStation’s multiplayer-focused studios. The studio’s first game is described as a team-based action game that draws inspiration from platformers, MOBAs and weirdly, “frog-type games”.

KitGuru Says: When this studio first formed, the project was described as being in the early stages of development, so I don’t expect to see this new game revealed in 2025.
