Whether or not there's any truth to these rumors about a new Twisted Metal game remains to be seen, but fans can look forward to the Twisted Metal TV series at least, as that has already been officially announced. Jaffe worked on the first two Twisted Metal games, Twisted Metal: Black, and the 2012 Twisted Metal reboot, but there have been Twisted Metal games made without his involvement as well. Jaffe hasn't been employed by PlayStation for quite some time now, but he still says that he would be "hurt" if the rumors about a new Twisted Metal game are true as he's not been contacted by anyone at Sony. Grubb does not think that Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe is involved with the new game. In the meantime, there's one other detail about the new Twisted Metal game that was shared by Jeff Grubb that fans of the franchise may find interesting.

But now it seems that a new Twisted Metal game may finally be taking shape.Īs reported by VGC and GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb, it seems that a new Twisted Metal game is in the works, with Sony planning to incorporate it with the upcoming Twisted Metal TV series. Unfortunately for Twisted Metal fans, the franchise has been dormant since the 2012 Twisted Metal reboot, a PS3 title that failed to live up to the high bar set by its predecessors. The vehicular combat series Twisted Metal is one of PlayStation's oldest franchises, having produced some of the company's most critically-acclaimed games, like the PS2's Twisted Metal: Black.
