A new Twisted Metal game could be coming soon as a loose tie-in with the Twisted Metal TV series, VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb says (thanks Video Games Chronicle), and VGC said that rumor tallies with their sources as well.
Grubb said he believes David Jaffe is not involved in the project and that the move is part of Sony's "broadening" of its business strategy, a strategy that includes its PlayStation Productions film studio and other projects said to be in the works, such as a Final Fantasy XIV TV series.
And it's no wonder, what with the likes of Netflix's Castlevania generating so much interest, the creators even had a spin-off series greenlit.
"It does seem like [Sony] is potentially greenlighting games to coincide with their attempts to release movies and television shows based on these properties," Grubb said.
