Sony Bend has been a part of the Worldwide Studios furniture for a long time, creating franchises such as Syphon Filter, while also expanding upon existing ones like Resistance. However, ever since the release of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the company has been quiet. The question on everyone's lips, then, is just what is the team up to?
"We haven't announced anything about what [Sony Bend] is working on, but it's true that [the developer's] last game was Uncharted: Golden Abyss," affable executive Shuhei Yoshida explained on the PS I Love You XOXO podcast. "So, what they are working on: I just said at the [EGX 2015] Q&A that it's awesome. But I can also say that it's big – the biggest Sony Bend game ever."
The word on the street is that the firm's making an open world horror game, which would match up with what Yoshida's saying here. We don't really know a whole lot outside of that, other than that it's being built using Unreal Engine 4. Considering the length of time that it's been in production, we suspect that it will be revealed soon – potentially at PlayStation Experience in December.
While we wait for the title to be unveiled, though, we'd love to know what you want to see out of Sony Bend next. The team was apparently working on an inFAMOUS spin-off for the Vita at one point, but it's now turned its attention to the PS4. Would you have preferred some superhero action on your handheld, or are you more interested in new ideas? Let us know in the comments section below.

Everything is awesome nowadays, until actually it's not. So let's wait, I say.
@fchinaski Yeah, he's not going to say it's crap, innit!
"So, what they are working on: I just said at the Q&A that it's average. I mean, it's an okay game, and it looks like you'll have fun with it, but it's actually your garden variety open world stuff. But I can also say that it's big – the biggest Sony Bend game ever."

Syphon Filter please bring it back!
We still need our Syphon Filter fix. It's been far too long for a series that has always excelled at gameplay.
I still remember playing SF and tasering EVERY enemy until they caught fire. As long as that is in this new game... I think we'll be O.K.
I still can't believe the infamous spin off never got made
It's for vita's.
"...Been a part of the Worldwide Studios furniture."
Is that right? I'm excited otherwise been a long time since I've heard they had something.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with Sony Bend Studios, but they do put out quality games. Many fans of the studio are eager for a new Syphon Filter, but all indications are they are working on something different. Perhaps the "open world horror game" rumor was just a means of disinformation.
In any event people are curious what they are up to because of the quality of their past efforts.
@JMillsDezign LOL I tazed lots of guys to flames too. I hope if they do another SF they make it Coop like the last one.

I am quite familiar with their work, yes. It was only a joke (the second comment) and a comment on hype not really aimed at Bend Studios (the first one), but to how hype has fooled us gamers on the past two generations.
In what sense is it a "big" game? Big as in "huge open world", or big as in "a major franchise"?
Bend is a good studio so I'm not going to laugh off the possibility that the game could be awesome. I will be disappointed if it's not Syphon Filter though. I don't know about others but I'd welcome an open-world setting for that franchise.
I have already seen the game, looks great, it will have PlayStation.VR supported, the game is designed solely for it btw.
