A PlayStation studio, recently formed from former Bungie employees, is reportedly developing a MOBA titled "Gummy Bears." Initially conceived at Bungie, this project has undergone a significant shift, transitioning to a new team within Sony Interactive Entertainment.
This unique MOBA, rumored to be in development since at least 2022, draws inspiration from the iconic Super Smash Bros. franchise. Instead of traditional health bars, Gummy Bears will utilize a percentage-based damage system, resulting in knockback effects and the possibility of being knocked off the map, mirroring the Smash Bros. mechanic.
The game is designed with a younger audience in mind, a departure from Bungie's previous titles. It will feature three character classes – Attack, Defense, and Support – and multiple game modes, all wrapped in a described "cozy, vibrant, and lo-fi" aesthetic.
While the release date remains uncertain, the project's transition to a new PlayStation studio suggests significant progress, although the current development stage is unclear. The game's distinct style and target demographic represent a bold new direction for the developers.
