VGC originally reported that the Twisted Metal reboot was swapping developers, though at the time was unable to share the identity of the new developer. The latest reports indicated that the Twisted Metal reboot was switching developers, and now we may know exactly who is behind the new game. It then came to light that the Twisted Metal reboot was in development at Lucid Games, the studio behind the poorly-received PS5 exclusive Destruction AllStars. The Twisted Metal franchise began on the original PlayStation in 1995, leading to seven sequels and spinoffs.Last year, reputable sources indicated that Sony was looking at producing a Twisted Metal reboot game to coincide with the TV series based on the franchise.
The duo will reportedly run into obstacles on their journey, including Twisted Metal’s clown-faced, ice cream truck-driving mascot, Sweet Tooth. The series will follow a character named John Doe (played by the new Captain America, Anthony Mackie) who’s hired to carry a package across a “post-apocalyptic wasteland” and will team up with a car thief to deliver the goods. Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are attached to adapt the video game series as a live-action action comedy. Twisted Metal’s revival aligns with Sony’s PlayStation Productions arm developing a TV series based on the car-combat franchise. Lucid’s most recent games, Switchblade and Destruction AllStars - the latter came to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Plus in February - are all about vehicular combat, making the studio a natural fit for Twisted Metal. Lucid Games was founded in 2011 by former employees of Bizarre Creations, the former Activision-owned studio known for the Project Gotham Racing games, The Club, and Blur.
VGC’s report indicates a free-to-play model for the new Twisted Metal, which has not been officially announced by Sony Interactive Entertainment, but was previously rumored to be in the works. It would be the first new Twisted Metal game in a decade - an attempt to reboot the series, under the name Twisted Metal, was released in 2012 on PlayStation 3.
A new Twisted Metal game is in early development at Destruction AllStars developer Lucid Games, according to a report from VGC.
