GamingPlaystationPlayStation teams up with Bad Robot and the creator of Left 4 Dead for a co-op shooterIt's surely time for the Super 8 game we've all been waiting for.Kris HoltContributing ReporterThu, December 4, 2025 at 2:46 PM UTCSony Interactive Entertainment has signed a deal to produce and publish a game from Bad Robot, JJ Abrams’ production company.The two sides are keeping most of the details close to their chest for now, but the game is a four-player co-op shooter for PlayStation 5 and PC directed by someone who knows a thing or two about that genre: creator Mike Booth.Bad Robot Games — which is a fully remote studio — was formed in 2018 with the help of Tencent.It has lent a hand on games including (as an investor and creative consultant) as well as interactive streaming series .
This new game is the first one that Bad Robot Games is developing in-house.A few months back, Booth dropped into the Left 4 Dead subreddit to say that he was working on a new co-op game “built on the foundations of what made special.If you enjoyed the teamwork, tension and replayability of my past games, you’ll probably find this one interesting.It expands on the co-op formula in ways I’ve wanted to explore for a long time.” He added that, while the game was still in early development, Bad Robot was opening up a waitlist for access to playtests.According to a press release, “Bad Robot Games is a dedicated game studio working on new and existing transmedia franchises.” So, this project could well be part of an entirely new franchise, but the prospect of co-op shooter from the designer of Left 4 Dead that’s set in the Cloverfield universe is pretty darn intriguing.
