Though not officially confirmed, it has long been rumoured that a Twisted Metal game is currently in development at Firesprite. With the PlayStation VR2 roughly one week away from launch, it is encouraging to hear that the destruction derby title might be compatible with PSVR2 – as is the case with Gran Turismo 7.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘Smitch’ the Liverpool-based Firesprite is a first-party PlayStation developer currently working on an unannounced ‘multiplayer action game’ – though leaks and rumours claim it to be part of the Twisted Metal franchise.

Regardless of what exactly the game is, it seems as though the title will offer some form of VR support, with the studio stating (as part of a new job listing) that “Experience developing gameplay for VR would be useful.”

How deep the VR integration will go is currently unknown, but one can hope that it is comparable to Gran Turismo 7’s upcoming VR update – which looks to be rather comprehensive.

Though offering no names on the IP in development, Firesprite did provide some additional information on what the game will be, saying “This bold project aims to break new ground, blending genre transcending gameplay mechanics around vehicular and on foot combat and deeply embedding them into a unique gameplay environment as part of a unique and vibrant universe.”

Early reviews for the PlayStation VR2 have been coming out, and everyone seems quite impressed with the hardware. Hopefully the headset has the software to match it – though it looks like Sony is certainly trying in this regard.
