Yeah, so it’s Wednesday, right? And PlayStation’s waving this new studio in our face. Like, “Hey, check these folks out. They don’t bite, promise.” Just a dev team called teamLFG — your new BFFs in the multiplayer universe, claiming they’ve got a thing for “frog-type games.” Whatever that means.
So, I stumbled across this PS Blog post — kind of like a proud dad moment from Sony’s studio boss Hermen Hulst. He’s all, “Meet our new superstar!” But, you know, with a vibe like, miss one milestone and you’re out of the will, swimming with service sharks.
Now, teamLFG. Maybe you’re thinking it’s a cool acronym? Nope, just stands for Team “Looking For Group.” Not edgy, more, I dunno, kind of sweet? Based in Bellevue, they’ve got a crew mix from Destiny, Halo — and a bit of League magic — spun off from Bungie. And hey, they’re all about killer gameplay and rich, social worlds — like, finding your tribe while gaming.
Seems they’re going all-in with PlayStation’s live-service mission. Their first gig’s this “incubation project” — a fancy term sprung during Bungie’s layoff spill. It’s supposed to be this fusion of action and friendship — okay, as for frog-type games? No clue there. Picture a world that’s mythic and funny, sort of like sci-fi with a side of giggles.
They mention frog-type games, like, not just Frogger or that detective frog? More like… some mystical, virtual amphibian adventure. Imagine Tekken meets Mario, and then throw in some mid-2000s Crazy Frog chaos. Well, maybe not, but we can dream.
teamLFG’s big on playtests, too. Pushing the beta vibes, wanting all the feedback. So, what do you think? Is a mashup of Crazy Frog Fortnite what PlayStation’s been missing? Share your thoughts, or, you know, just let it stew.
