PlayStation has officially revealed its next major collaboration: a brand-new, four-player co-op shooter created by JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot Games and Mike Booth, the original creator of Left 4 Dead. While many details remain under wraps, Sony’s announcement signals that this project is one of its major upcoming exclusives.
Mike Booth’s Journey to Bad Robot Games
Mike Booth, best known for leading the development of Left 4 Dead at Valve, later spent time at Blizzard before joining Bad Robot’s gaming division as Chief Creative Officer in 2020. His move to the studio generated excitement years ago, but concrete information on his new project remained scarce—until now.
A New PlayStation Exclusive from Bad Robot
Sony confirmed that Booth is directing an entirely new IP, described only as a four-player co-op shooter for PS5 and PC. No title, setting, or game mechanics have been revealed yet, but Sony’s enthusiasm signals confidence in the project.
Bad Robot Games CEO Anna Sweet emphasized the ambition behind the collaboration, stating that the team aims to deliver a bold and innovative experience built around unforgettable cooperative play.
What’s Confirmed So Far
Everything currently known includes:
-
Platform: Exclusive to PS5 and PC
-
Genre: Co-op shooter
-
Player Count: Up to four players
-
Director: Mike Booth
-
IP: Completely original, not tied to Left 4 Dead, Cloverfield, or any Bad Robot film universe
Sony noted that more information will be shared in the future but gave no timeline for the next reveal.
When Will the Game Be Revealed?
There is no confirmed date for the full unveiling. However, with The Game Awards approaching, some speculate that Sony’s announcement may be laying groundwork for a teaser at the event—though this remains unconfirmed.
Sony specifically stating that the game is being developed for PS5, despite growing rumors of a PS6 release around 2027, could indicate that the project is targeting a launch within the next couple of years. Still, it’s unclear how long the game has been in active development.
Looking Ahead
While details remain limited, the combination of Mike Booth’s co-op design pedigree and Bad Robot’s cinematic flair has set high expectations. For now, PlayStation fans will have to wait for Sony to pull back the curtain on this mysterious new project.
