People Can Fly Behind Leaked XDev Sci-Fi RPG Shooter

People Can Fly

Earlier this month, we reported on a leaked XDev project with only a touch of gameplay shown in the initial leak. While no studio was able to be tied to the project at the time, it appears more has come to light.

Over on ResetEra (via PSU), industry insider modiz shared some info with a fellow user. The post claims that the developer behind the still-unnamed sci-fi RPG shooter was apparently People Can Fly, a Polish game dev with a rather small yet robust repertoire.

One of the important details was a codename on the bottom right, this codename was dug into and found in a timeline from People Can Fly who reported this project as being in the concept design phase back in 2001.

The developer is best known for Bulletstorm and most recently, Outriders. If this rumor is true, this probably means the game has been in some level of creative limbo for years or it’s just been pushed to the side for so long until the studio finally got around to it.

We’re sure it’s no closer than its initial leak to being announced, so we’ll have to be patient for now.

New Sci-fi RPG XDev Project Leaks

XDev

It appears leaks are surfacing of a new sci-fi RPG game produced with the help of Sony’s XDev partnership program. Nothing about the game is concrete and is expected to be years away.

The leak comes from a user on IconEra (via ThePSBrahs), who shared a post with details about the game alongside a short video of what looked like a third-person sci-fi adventure. According to the leaker, the game is in the very early stages and is developed in Unreal Engine 5.

It’s also mentioned that the game is also going to follow an RPG path. Nothing is confirmed, but with the year turning over, it’s possible we could see some more news, especially as the leaker clarifies that there will be more leaks later this year. 

For those unaware, XDev is a program Sony operates that helped get a slurry of big games out of the gate like Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, and Super Star Dust HD. It’s partnered with a good chunk of notable developers including — at one time — Quantic Dream, Sumo Digital, Supermassive Games, and Climax Studios.

All in all, XDev is mostly a helper for third-party developers to bring their content to PlayStation platforms since its inception in 2000. If this leak is real, it looks like something big is coming our way.
