I'm worried about Bend and Media Molecule.

I wonder which studio is up to the task of developing PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale Round 2? Japan Studio is my choice.

Bot Bend and Media Molecule are fine. Day's Gone has been mentioned in the past few PS financials as helping boost profit gains around the time of it's release.

I can see Studio Japan helping another team make PSBR2. But they didn't spend the PS4 gen working towards that I feel. Their goal is def towards becoming a Guerrilla or Santa Monica esque studio. The Silent Hill rumours point towards this (that is if it's true)

Sure we don’t know but that in itself doesn’t bode well. No Sony PR touting its sales reception, and it’s a $40 game. First week sales by your own admission weren’t high and usually sales drop more in week 2, etc. Overall it wasn’t marketed well. 

I’m not knocking your experience with the game, merely it’s profitability. Whatever numbers it’s pulling I don’t think it was worth the 6 years in development. They gotta pick a new genre imo 

There's nothing to be concerned about. MM have been consistently making profit ever since the release of LBP. Their financial statement ending Mar 2019 reveals profit for at least the last 3 years. This was before the release of Dreams Early Access in April, and the final release in Feb 2020. Older statements receal profit earnings.

People seem to always think that MM is in some critical situation when in fact they are a finally secured studio.

How would that be possible given their last title LBP 3 released in 2014?
