Ex-Bungie Developers Create TeamLFG, A New PlayStation Studio

A team of developers formerly employed by Bungie has negotiated a deal to spin-off from its original company and form its own, known now as teamLFG. The news was announced in a PlayStation Blog post, where PlayStation CEO Herman Hulst says, “teamLFG originated at Bungie, but has also rallied developers from across the industry.” The team is working on an “ambitious incubation project,” though it gave few concrete details outside of that.

While employees of the new developer are listed publicly on LinkedIn, the announcement did not name anyone as founder or CEO, instead providing a statement from the studio as a whole. After stating its studio would be based in Bellevue, Washington, the statement explains that the “LFG” in the studio’s name stands for “looking for group,” a common internet acronym for people searching for people to play games with. 

TeamLFG’s first game will include a wide range of inspirations, including one odd one. The statement reads, “Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games.” Not only does this list not include shooters, the genre Bungie is best known for, but it also includes “frog-type games,” a genre none of the staff at Game Informer is familiar with. If the studio’s goal was to pique our curiosity, it succeeded.
