New Game Studio Emerges from Former PlayStation London Devs

A group of seasoned game developers from PlayStation London Studio, Disney Interactive, and Square Enix have come together to form Twisted Works, a London-based game studio. Led by CEO and creative director James Brace, alongside Ciarán Daly and Etienne Jabbour, the studio aims to create innovative and bold gaming experiences. According to Brace, the current market is risk-averse, but Twisted Works is committed to bringing new ideas to the table. The studio's debut title, Cast Outs, is a modern fantasy co-op game set in a fantasy version of London. Brace hopes that the game will showcase the studio's ability to create a beloved and engaging gaming experience. With a focus on scalability and expandability, Twisted Works aims to build a loyal community of players. The studio's emergence comes after the closure of PlayStation London in May 2024, which was part of a larger restructuring effort by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
