People Can Fly, the team behind shooters like Bulletstorm and Outriders, has announced it's entered into an agreement with PlayStation to produce a new game based on a current, pre-existing Sony IP. No other details have been confirmed other than its codename: Project Delta.
The technical speak confirms People Can Fly has entered "production of a prototype of a new video game codenamed Project Delta (the "Product"), based on intellectual property rights belonging to [the] Publisher". Currently, the studio is also collaborating with Microsoft on the development of Gears of War: E-Day.
Details pertaining to what Sony IP the developer is working on haven't been shared, though given its background, the chances it's some kind of shooter are fairly high. This could bring the possibility of a new Killzone game, the return of Resistance, a SOCOM title, or maybe even another MAG. What we do know is the project is based on a current Sony IP.
People Can Fly is a Polish developer that was founded in 2002 and is best known for Bulletstorm. It has also made Outriders, Gears of War: Judgment, and contributed to a number of other projects like the Save the World portion of Fortnite.

Bulletstorm was amazing, how about another one of those?
My money's on a live service Killzone or Socom game given their track record with shooters. I'm all for this though, Sony partnering with third parties to work on their abandoned IP. Hopefully there's more partnerships like this to come.
@UltimateOtaku91 damn a new Killzone would be immense. The multiplayer on Shadowfall was excellent I thought
I would guess a Socom game, because those were third-person shooters and Outriders/Gears fall into that category. I know Colin will be very interested in this project since he enjoyed Outriders so much. I thought it was fine, promising even. I'm excited for this project for sure
Resistance 4 in collaboration with Bend.
Resistance 4 baby!
Also still hoping that Guerilla was secretly working on Killzone 5 all this time and it gets announced in the next showcase 😅
Unfortunately I don't see Sony ever bringing Socom back (without hiring ex Zipper devs) and I don't think Insomniac would let anyone else touch resistance. Guerrilla Games on the other hand wants nothing to do with Killzone so I say Killzone.
Come on Tokyo Jungle.
I'm all for Sony contracting studios to use their IPS; it's better than sitting on them for years collecting dust.
Socom, Socom, Socom!
Freedom Fighters (prob wrong devs)
A new Resistance or failing that a remake would be great. Killzone would be good but Resistance would be better
"Project Delta" makes me a bit hopeful for Resistance 4, but I'm not one to make predictions.
@Colour It was supposed to be a trilogy, but the sales weren't up to the publisher's liking so they didn't continue with the second game. The very very wide open ending shows how much they had planned on continuing the franchise.
I enjoyed Outriders a lot, so I'm looking forward to whatever they do.
We need Resistance 4 😄👍
I liked Outriders enough to finish it. Had some fun. The general mechanics were solid.
I could see them tackling any of Sony's dormant shooter franchises, really.
Hell yeah: Concord Legends.
Joking aside, though, begging that it's a Killzone, Socom or Resistance title. I don't care if it's live service. Atleast have the game be based on something I actually care about.
I'm expecting either Killzone or Resistance, mainly Killzone which I think would sell better because Sony would have Helghan everywhere promotion wise. Although the Chimera from Resistance are cool.
Loved both series so I hope it's one of them.
Always liked their stuff.....I think it's resistance or killzone
@AdamNovice
Was going for the same. Played it on premium and I must say, this is something different. Never played anything like this.
I'm betting Killzone. I'd prefer Resistance tbh but the last game sold badly, I'm not sure Sony would give it another go.
Nice! A good news story, for once!
SOCOM PLEASE
perhaps it will be released on the ps6 in 3-4 years time. this is likely not even in the conceptual phase yet. new killzone or socom sounds like a good idea, though.
A bullets torment 2 would be amazing. But we will see.word up son
Only played Bulletstorm for the first time last year and ended up really enjoying it. Quite excited to find out what this ends up being. If I had to pick, I’d probably go with Resistance… but I’d be interested in most of the games mentioned.
Resistance is what I would want more than any other franchise. I have a hard time seeing Killzone being made, especially if Halo comes to PlayStation.
I’d love to see a new Warhawk game, but with a company like People Can Fly, it’s more likely a new Resistance or Killzone game. My best guess is that it’s a remastered remake/re-imagining of the first Resistance game…and if it goes well, they’ll be tasked with remastered remakes of Resistance 2 and 3.
I'd definitely DEFINITELY pay for a live service killzone or anything killzone
Delta could be Delta Force and DF hire from The Rangers and The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM / SOCOM) it could be a military sim. Arma Reforger has been doing pretty well on PS5, there's definitely a market for it. It feels like forever since we've seen a new Operation Flashpoint too.
@LogicStrikesAgain You're gonna have to dream hard for that last one dx
MAG? Never played it because xbox360 but that was a game that looks so good.
@GirlVersusGame
Arma is made by the same people who made OF. Don't think we will ever get a new OF. Love Reforger as it's the only game of this kind we have on consoles.
Id love a remake of Painkiller, loved that game, excellent secrets
This is what I want to hear hopefully killzone or resistance
Bulletstorm and Outriders are both incredible games.
I can still remember when Outriders first came out and I always lucky to be get into the game hence Logged out became a thing and is now a meme
People Can Fly has struggled with their last several releases I thought. I thought it was Flying Wild Hog that has really taken off despite the slow start.
@Nepp67 Lol, yeah i know! 😂 Some other parallel universe is luckier than ours
@Colour amazing. It was really dumb, but super fun and I actually really enjoyed the story. Sad we'll never see more of it (beyond a million ports)
Bulletstorm was great as long as it's a single player game and not live service or a multilayer game I'll be happy especially live service I really wish them games would disappear forever
@Colour I totally agree!!
@Mikey856 A new Killzone would be amazing!
A new resistance would be awesome!
This is exciting news I’m hoping for resistance or killzone maybe even twisted metal!
Games that need to comeback.
1. Socom
2. Warhawk
3. Resistance.
Helldivers 2 has filled a spot that Sony has been lacking for so so long. But they need more games that will help fill that gap.
Warhawk to me would be the perfect fit for that. Arcade shooter with intense dog fights and ground to air combat.
Resistance Fall of Man was one of the best multiplayer experiences for the first 3 years of the PS3 and very enjoyable.
Socom would be a great addition since there is only Call of Duty and Battlefield now. I know people complain about Extraction shooters but if they can make a mode where you have missions to complete or even like DMZ where you have personal mission to unlock certain features or guns.
Just imagine entering a match on a soc-r boat and completing a mission and having to call in an exfil. I would enjoy those three games.. I wouldn’t ask Sony for anything more this whole remaining gen.
@T-Bone09 That is a really cool idea for Socom, would play that in a heartbeat
l want Syphon Filter remake or reboot

I never play Bulletstorm or Outriders but i'm curious what's the reason Sony hired this developers to developed a new game based on their IP?
People here are saying Killzone, Resistance, SOCOM, and as much as i'd love it be one of those, there's also a non-zero chance of it being based on The Last of Us, Horizon, and Uncharted, considering those are also third-person shooters. Better keep my expectations in check but I do hope things go well for them (especially since we don't know if Sony is still trying to force the live-service trend).
Resistance would be the one that would excite me the most. Killzone is eh, and Socom is so old i forgot if i really liked it all that much. But it would be a title that has a solid name and would fit the live service model best i think. Exciting news. Hope to learn more about it in the near future.
People expecting this to be Killzone, Resistance, or SOCOM are in for a rude awakening when this turns out to be yet another Horizon game.
Folklore! MediEvil!
Are they taking over TLOU multiplayer? 🤣 one can dream
If it’s not a live service game that’s going to be canceled and eventually shut the dev down, I’m going to be very disappointed in Sony.
Delta is hardly hiding the fact that it's going to be the 4th game in a series...
🤞 Resistance 4 🤞
Let them make a Twisted Metal. There are guns in that
Outriders was awful though
@Colour The game/gun play was good, and the set pieces were cool, but the writing and characters were god awful.
Any of them would be great! I'm just glad to see something from their IP's being worked on and I hope it works out!
I personally really want Killzone!!
@madmaxrules I would love either one of those and am glad to see them mentioned! I think this will probably be a shooter though. Also, I'm guessing Sony might own IP for Folklore by publishing it, but I've never known if they do.
@Ravix You’re right! 🤯 So it is Resistance 4!
This should be a poll.
@Gabe-_-Logan agreed! had a blast with the trilogy on the ps1. it was my mgs fix when all we had was mgs1 at our disposal. i've yet to play any of the psp/ps2 syphon filter games, but have been meaning to some day. wouldn't it be amazing if bend studio released syphon filter 4 as a ps6 launch game?
Finally — Knack 3!
Got to be Killzone?
Would be nice to get a battlefield-style Killzone game. Considering Battlefield has been floundering lately, this could be a good opportunity to tap into that market, large scale multiplayer warfare.
Would love a new SOCOM
Concord anniversary edition
The options based in what I would like:
1.- Resistance
2.- SOCOM
3.- Killzone
4.- MAG
The options based in what I think could happen:
1.- SOCOM
2.- MAG
3.- Killzone
4.- Resistance
KILLZONE BROS WE GONNA BE EATIN' REAL GOOD SOON!
I don’t think SOCOM is well known enough to sell well no matter how good it might be, and quite a different style to Outriders and Gears. Killzone still has the pull of a well known series and is more that style, so I am betting on that.
Horizon Zero Dawn FPS: Aloe's Fury
Bulletstorm is legit one of the best FPS games ever, so this is potentially very cool.
My hope would be socom or Resistance. Just give me a Division style game but it's an invasion of Resistance's alien race. Taking back landmarks in New York or London. Day one purchase for me
I’d LOVE the return of Resistance! Even Killzone would be awesome! But what would REALLY be amazing is a Bulletstorm 2! That game is so underrated and under appreciated in my book. I wish they would do that but I already know they won’t. 😕
Killzone, Resistance, and bring back WARHAWK and its amazing soundtrack! MP-only games are so common nowawadays, not so much when Warhawk came out. I want my arcadey dogfights!
