People Can Fly Working on New Game Based on Sony IP

People Can Fly has entered an arrangement with Sony that will see the former work on the development of a new game titled Project Delta, based on the latter’s IP. This marks another major partnership for People Can Fly, which has collaborated on multiple AAA releases to date, including IPs such as Gears of War and Fortnite.

Based in Poland, People Can Fly is a veteran developer that has been in operation since 2002. It has been involved in the making of certain noteworthy games, ranging from the PC port of the original Gears of War in 2007 to the 2021 co-op shooter called Outriders. Back in December 2024, the Fortnite: Save the World devs conducted over 100 layoffs, which affected a couple of its in-development projects, Project Bifrost and Project Victoria. However, despite such a downsizing of its workforce, the studio recently shared that it has taken up another project, this time from the renowned publisher Sony.

Gears of War: Why You Should Start Over in 2025

Now that the Gears of War franchise is back in the spotlight, now is the best time to revisit the chapter that started it all.

On March 13, 2025, People Can Fly announced the successful conclusion of a production agreement that involved cooperating with Sony Interactive Entertainment on the prototype of Project Delta. Following this positive development, the Gears of War studio is now set to provide its services to the Japan-based publisher for a game inspired by the latter’s IP. This partnership will take place as per the work-for-hire model, which simply means that the rights to the work created will be with Sony, the commissioning party, rather than with People Can Fly, the creator. Besides this, there are little to no specifics available about the nature of the planned project at the time of writing.

People Can Fly Adds New Sony-Backed Game to Its List of Future Projects

The new game related to an undisclosed Sony-owned IP is just one of several undertakings by People Can Fly in recent times. Earlier in January 2025, the Polish studio was unveiled as a co-developer behind the highly awaited Gears of War: E-Day. Prior to that, in September 2024, it announced Project Echo as being developed together with Krafton, the South Korean publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds. Moreover, it has also been working on Project Gemini, announced in February 2023, for another gaming giant, Square Enix. With such major partnerships in progress concurrently, it appears like the next few years will be a busy time for People Can Fly devs.

Among its ongoing projects, Gears of War: E-Day is understandably the most anticipated one, especially given that there are not enough details available about the others right now. With the studio having worked on the Xbox-owned action franchise before, it would be interesting to see how that experience may have come into play during the development of the new entry as more trailers for the game eventually roll out.
