Under the flag of their new studio “Eat, Sleep, Play,” two seasoned game developers have signed on with Sony to produce content exclusively for the PlayStation platforms. Although specifics on the contract weren’t announced, David Jaffe and Scott Campbell have committed to multiple years and multiple titles with Sony.
The duo have worked with Sony and each other in the past at SCEA’s Santa Monica Studios. Jaffe worked at the creative director there, where he co-created and served as game director for Twisted Metal and God of War. Campbell founded his own studio, Incognito Entertainment, which developed Warhawk for PlayStation 3. Their latest work together was on Calling All Cars, a downloadable title.
"We are extremely pleased to be working with David and Scott and supporting them in their new endeavor," said Shuhei Yoshida, senior vice president of product development at SCEA, in a statement. "Through hit after hit, they have established themselves as two of the most talented individuals this industry has ever seen, and I look forward to seeing what kind of further gaming innovation they can bring to the PlayStation brand through our new development deal."
So far, the first formally announced project for Eat, Sleep, Play is a new Twisted Metal title. Twisted Metal: Head On will dig up lost levels from the unreleased Twisted Metal Black Part II, plus documentary footage on the game. They plan to have it wrapped up in time for a winter release in North America.
