\n\t\tProject Espresso appears to be a Fairgames reboot (player.gg\/Sony Interactive Entertainment)<\/p>\n
One of Sony<\/a>\u2019s last remaining live service projects is still alive, in what\u2019s been a very bad week for PlayStation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sony might be dominating the console landscape in terms of PlayStation 5 sales<\/a>, but it hasn\u2019t been nearly as successful when it comes to maintaining a steady supply of quality first party games for the system.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s pursuit of a live service hit has led to a spree of cancellations and studio closures<\/a>, at the expense of other experiences. The anti-consumer sentiment around Sony has only grown over recent months, mostly thanks to the decision to stop producing physical discs<\/a> after 2027.\u00a0 <\/p>\n A lot of Sony\u2019s fumbles this generation have come to the fore this week, where we\u2019ve seen Hideo Kojima<\/a>\u2019s Physint being ditched by PlayStation<\/a>, a lukewarm response to Marvel\u2019s Wolverine<\/a>, and a secret push for one of its last remaining live service games.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Fairgames, from developer Haven Studios, was announced in 2023 but little has been seen of it since. It looks like another extraction-orientated shooter akin to Marathon<\/a>, albeit one where you are breaking into vaults and then trying to escape.<\/p>\n While there\u2019s been concern (or hope, from some fans) the title may have been cancelled, especially after its absence in the recent State Of Play<\/a>, new footage and evidence of a playtest has emerged, which implies it could be re-revealed soon.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tExpert, exclusive gaming analysis\t\t\t<\/p>\n Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter<\/a> for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.<\/p>\n An invite to a playtest recently popped up on player.gg<\/a>, which announced it had been given \u2018exclusive access to a closed playtest of an unannounced competitive action shooter codenamed Project Espresso being developed by a AAA studio\u2019. <\/p>\n Following the news, footage has emerged online<\/a> showing gameplay from Project Espresso, which looks a lot like Fairgames. According to Insider Gaming<\/a>, Fairgames project name is Project Espresso, with the game\u2019s official title now rumoured to be Break In.\u00a0 <\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear when Fairgames\/Break In will be released but, based on the leaked footage, it looks worryingly generic. It seems especially perplexing considering Marathon, another Sony extraction shooter but with a more distinctive style, failed to attract a large audience earlier this year.<\/p>\n As Sony tries to salvage poorly received live service projects, including the recently respecced Horizon Hunters Gathering<\/a>, it isn\u2019t having a stellar time with single-player projects either. Marvel\u2019s Wolverine, which launches on September 15, has become one of Sony\u2019s lowest-rated first party games of the PlayStation 5 generation.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the time of writing (September 11), Marvel\u2019s Wolverine has a score on Metacritic<\/a> of 78 based on 112 critic reviews. This is equal to Days Gone Remastered<\/a>, and only above Concord<\/a> \u2013 a game that was shut down after two weeks and which scored just 62.\u00a0<\/p>\n A score of 78 isn\u2019t bad, and Metacritic isn\u2019t exactly the best barometer of quality (Returnal<\/a> ranks lower than Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart<\/a>), but it\u2019s certainly going to be a disappointment to Sony and developer Insomniac, as it\u2019s the joint lowest ranked single-player game.<\/p>\n In our review<\/a>, we gave Marvel\u2019s Wolverine a 7\/10 and described it as shallow and repetitive, albeit with \u2018plenty of heart and ambition\u2019 in its storytelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t Email\u00a0gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a>, leave a comment below,\u00a0follow us on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n To submit Inbox letters and Reader\u2019s Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use our\u00a0Submit Stuff page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our Gaming page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Marvel's](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/SEI_311476368-8348.jpg\")
