Four months ago, we reported that LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule was busy toiling away on a new IP with \u201copen-world content.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

For those wondering what happened to the studio, they are still alive and kicking on their new unannounced project.<\/p>\n

With the studio\u2019s last game, Dreams, having been released in 2020, it\u2019s been six years since we\u2019ve seen anything from the British-based development house. That should be changing in 2027, as that\u2019s when Media Molecule will release its next title.<\/p>\n

Media Molecule\u2019s New Game to Feature Social Aspects<\/p>\n

According to our sources familiar with the project, Media Molecule\u2019s next game is set to be unveiled and released in 2027.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As to what kind of game it is, it\u2019s a social-simulation-type of game, one that\u2019s inspired by titles such as Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. We were also told it\u2019s not a GaaS (games-as-a-service) title, though we wouldn\u2019t be shocked if it had GaaS elements in it.<\/p>\n

Remember: game development is dynamic, and the goalposts do change. While there is a chance Media Molecule\u2019s in-development project won\u2019t get released in 2027 due to how game development is, it will be revealed next year at the very least.<\/p>\n

At its core, it seems it won\u2019t follow the footsteps of Dreams. While the title inspired various user-generated experiences, it wasn\u2019t enough for Sony to keep it afloat; just three years in, Media Molecule announced that live service support would end.<\/p>\n

In other PlayStation news, another thing we reported on fairly recently is how a new Killzone project is in the works at Guerrilla and an external studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n
