A New PlayStation Studio Formed by Bungie Develops Team-Based Action Game Inspired by Life Sims and “Frog-Style” Games—What Does That Mean?

It’s a Wednesday while I’m tapping this out, and guess what? PlayStation’s got a fresh studio for us to check out. Seriously, it’s like they want us to make new friends. This group? They’re called teamLFG, and they’re diving into multiplayer games with, uh, “frog-type” vibes. I know, right? Like, why frogs?

Anyway, Sony’s Hermen Hulst is strutting around like a proud papa, showing off his latest studio addition on the PS Blog. But you know, with a wink that says, “Sink or swim, folks. The live service ocean’s no joke.”

So, teamLFG stands for “Looking For Group” — not as cheeky as you hoped, huh? Based in Bellevue, chillin’ with a mix of rookies and pros who’ve had their hands on Destiny, Halo, League of Legends. Kinda cool that it’s spun out from Bungie, don’t you think?

They’re all about nail-biting action gameplay, those moments that get your heart racing, and let’s not forget virtual worlds that are socially rich. Their goal? Making games that bring people together. That sounds legit, right?

This fits right into PlayStation’s kinda rocky live-service journey. They’re on the case with multiplayer games that hinge on action. And their debut? An “incubation project” they whispered about during some shake-ups at Bungie.

Imagine a game where action meets fighting, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and yeah, even “frog-type” games. Quirky, lighthearted world in a fresh mythic, science-fantasy universe? TeamLFG says they can’t wait to show us more.

But frog-type games? I’m scratching my head. Not the Frogger kind, more mysterious. Are we talkin’ a mash-up of Tekken, Mario, Dota 2, and… Crazy Frog? Who even knows? But teamLFG’s keen on early access playtests, so player feedback seems their jam.

So, do you think PlayStation’s hankering for a Crazy Frog-inspired Fortnite or Overwatch situation? What’s teamLFG gonna stir up next? Spill your thoughts below.
