New Twisted Metal Game Is Reported In Early Development

A new Twist­ed Met­al game is report­ed in devel­op­ment, accord­ing to report­ed Jeff Grubb (which was backed by VGC’s sources). Grubb stat­ed on the lat­est episode of Giant Bom­b’s Grubb­Snax that a new Twist­ed Met­al title is in ear­ly development.

“I think Twist­ed Met­al is in the works but it may still be a ways off, so I think we’re ear­ly,” Grubb said, via VGC.

The game did not make an appear­ance dur­ing the PlaySta­tion Show­case. Grubb did say that Twist­ed Met­al cre­ator David Jaffe, who left PlaySta­tion awhile ago, is not like­ly not involved in the rumored game.

There is lit­er­al­ly no way of know­ing what stu­dio might be work­ing on this sup­posed Twist­ed Met­al title. 2012’s Twist­ed Met­al reboot from Jaf­fe’s since-closed Eat Sleep Play stu­dio is the lat­est entry for the dri­ving com­bat series.

Grubb added that this game seems to sig­nal a shift from Sony towards tak­ing a more syn­er­gis­tic approach to its fran­chis­es with respect to their trans­me­dia opportunities.

A Twist­ed Met­al TV show from the writ­ers of Dead­pool is cur­rent­ly in the works, and Grubb stat­ed, “There is a pres­tige attached to Hol­ly­wood and pres­tige tele­vi­sion that I think Sony is crav­ing a bit, but also it’s good busi­ness. If you look at what hap­pened with The Witch­er and Net­flix, The Witch­er 3 had its sec­ond-best year since its last year when the show debuted.”

Will Arnett is rumored to be voic­ing Sweet Tooth in the TV show.
