New PlayStation Studio, Evolved from Bungie, Develops Team-Based Action Game Influenced by Life Sims and Frog-Style Games: What Does That Even Mean?

It’s Wednesday while I’m tapping this out. PlayStation’s got this new squad they want you to check out. Seriously, don’t be weird about it—they’re harmless, unless you’re talking about the suits. Those guys might actually nibble a bit. So, this crew’s called teamLFG, just bagged official PS studio status, and they’re diving into a multiplayer thing that swears it’s inspired by “frog-type games.” Yeah, frog games. What?

Sony’s bigwig Hermen Hulst (think proud dad at your first soccer game), throws the spotlight on his new prodigy on the PS Blog. Though, there’s this vibe like, “Sink or swim, but elegantly, please,” when it comes to the whole live-service ocean they’re jumping into. Gulp.

teamLFG stands for Team “Looking For Group,” not the cooler, more colorful version you might imagine—keep it PG, kids. Based outta Bellevue, Washington, it’s like this eclectic mashup of fresh faces and the old guard who’ve juggled Destiny, Halo, and League of Legends. Oh, they’re Bungie alumni too, if that floats your boat.

They’re all about that killer action gameplay, you know, the type that makes your palms sweat the whole time? Plus, they’re crafting these online worlds where the players can crash, connect, and maybe feel a little less like lone wanderers roaming the digital wastelands.

So yeah, they’re riding PlayStation’s live-service hype train, full steam ahead. Their debut baby’s a “team-based action game,” pulling in vibes from fighters, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and, cue dramatic pause, frog-type games. Imagine wacky, mythical science-fantasy chaos where everything’s got a twinkle of humor.

Frog-type games? Not your run-of-the-mill Frogger. Like, frog-type. We’re scratching our heads here too—hoping they aren’t picturing every character as Crazy Frog reincarnates duking it out. Still, count us curious. They plan on doing early access tests, so lotsa feedback loops here—touchy-feely stuff.

Is this wacky, froggy Fortnite-Tekken hybrid exactly what PlayStation’s crying out for? Excited to see if teamLFG pulls a rabbit—or a frog—out of their hat? Spill your thoughts below.
