Shinobi602 Drops Some Info on Sony Bend Studio’s PS4 Exclusive
Perhaps best known for Uncharted: Golden Abyss on the PS Vita it has been known for sometime that Sony Bend Studios has been working on a PS4 exclusive. It looks like notorious (and almost always right) industry insider Shinobi602 is at it again with info on that. In a recent tweet he dropped a few hints as to what the upcoming PS4 exclusive from Sony Bend Studio is all about. Little is known about this mystery game apart from the fact that it’s very likely called Dead Don’t Ride as that rumor surfaced a few months back. Shinobi hints towards as much in the tweet as well.
DEAD scavenge, we survive
DON’T fear them, on metal & bikes we drive
RIDE, don’t run, the apocalypse is good fun#DeadDontRide #SonyBend

Further tweets clear up that despite having the word ride in the title, this is not a racing game.
As we mentioned, it’s important to note that while Shinobi is almost always on point, and considered one of the more reliable sneaky leakers in the business, we still haven’t seen anything official from Sony Interactive Entertainment on all of this. Take that as you will, but again… Shinobi rarely leads us astray.
Further investigation over on NeoGAF helped drive home some of the hints left by Shinobi, too. One intrepid investigator, NeoGAF user get2sammyb, did some digging and found that the official domain of “deaddontride.com” was registered way back in 2014 by Sony Interactive Entertainment Senior Manager, Arran Green. Arran is responsible for the management, strategy and executive creative direction of the WWS Creative group. Managing multiple locations across California – San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Another user, Leona Lewis decided to do some digging as well and found that industry stuntwoman Jade Quon had listed the title of Dead Don’t Ride on her resume. The stunt she had worked on was coordinated by Formosa Interactive, that works extensively with Sony, and has taken part in the production of The Last of Us and inFAMOUS: Second Son.
We don’t have any more info but you can rest assured that we’ll get it to you as soon as we do.
