PlayStation First-Party Smash Bros-Inspired Game Rumored

A PlayStation studio, newly formed from former Bungie employees, is reportedly developing a MOBA titled "Gummy Bears." Initially conceived at Bungie, this project, codenamed "Gummy Bears," has undergone a significant shift, transitioning to a new development team within Sony Interactive Entertainment.

This unique MOBA is rumored to deviate from traditional health bar mechanics, drawing inspiration from the Super Smash Bros. franchise. Instead of health bars, Gummy Bears will reportedly utilize a percentage-based damage system, influencing character knockback. High enough damage will even knock characters off the map, mirroring the Super Smash Bros. gameplay.

The game is expected to feature the standard MOBA character classes: Attack, Defense, and Support, along with multiple game modes. Its visual style is described as cozy, vibrant, and "lo-fi," a stark contrast to Bungie's previous titles. This stylistic choice aims to attract a younger audience than Bungie's typical player base.

Development on Gummy Bears began at least as early as 2020, with the recent studio shift potentially aligning with the establishment of a new PlayStation studio in Los Angeles. While a release date remains unconfirmed, the game is likely still several years from launch.
