According to the Spanish website Vandal, sources close to the project have revealed that Sony is set to announce a new title, “Gummy Bears,” during today’s State of Play event. The broadcast, scheduled for February 12 at 11:00 PM Spanish Peninsular time, is expected to share exciting details about the upcoming game.
Vandal’s report indicates that “Gummy Bears” will not only be showcased during the State of Play but is also expected to appear in the rumored Nintendo Direct later this month. This dual exposure hints at Sony’s strategy to reach a wider audience by releasing this colorful multiplayer game on multiple platforms. While the sources did not specifically mention compatibility with next-gen consoles like the Switch 2, they confirmed that the title will be available on the Nintendo Switch, similar to previous family-oriented releases from Sony.
Additionally, the report confirms that “Gummy Bears” is planned for a simultaneous release this year on PS5, PC, and Switch. This multi-platform approach mirrors Sony’s earlier family-focused projects, such as “LEGO Horizon Adventures,” which aimed to engage diverse gaming communities.
Earlier reports revealed that Bungie is working on a new game called “Gummy Bears,” which is a team-based MOBA that incorporates elements from “Smash Bros.” Initially developed by Bungie, the project was transferred to a new PlayStation studio, where about 40 Bungie developers continued its development. This transition occurred after Bungie experienced layoffs in mid-2024, following the release of a “Destiny 2” expansion. The game is described as colorful and vibrant, with the goal of attracting younger players. It features a percentage-based damage system instead of traditional health bars and offers various game modes and three distinct classes: Support, Attack, and Defense.
“Gummy Bears” aims for a cozy, lo-fi aesthetic, marking a departure from Bungie’s usual dramatic sci-fi themes. Internally, it has been praised as Bungie’s “most fun” project, and it has been in development for about three years. The game features innovative mechanics, such as towers that can move and utilize abilities, potentially adding new layers of strategy. This tonal shift seeks to diversify Bungie’s portfolio and connect with new demographics. Positive feedback from playtests has labeled it a promising new direction for Bungie under PlayStation’s leadership.
