Sony is also allegedly creating another Twisted Metal game and it is likely being positioned to come out around the same time as the Peacock series. After reportedly changing developers, the game is said to be coming from Firesprite, a studio Sony recently acquired in September 2021. However, this game has yet to be formally revealed.
Twisted Metal is another one of Sony’s video game franchises making the jump to another medium. There’s a Ghost of Tsushima movie in the works and an HBO show based on The Last of Us.
