Well, it appears that Ballistic Moon has become part of the larger PlayStation family of studios. This information, while not yet official, has been leaked by a very powerful source.

It all started when Sony began advertising the recruitment of a “senior dialogue designer” to work on large AAA projects with the PlayStation studios mentioned in the announcement, such as Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, Firesprite, Ballistic Moon, London Studios, Housemarque, Media Molecule and Insomni Games and Sucker Punch.

Of course, Sony's announcement comes with the aim of including two new singers in the PlayStation studios that were mentioned above, with the use of the phrase "partners" which here refers to first-party studios, but what does the Ballistic Moon studio that appeared on this list do?

It is hard to believe that Ballistic Moon Studio works as a third or even a second in cooperation with PlayStation, and its appearance on this list is a great indication that Sony has already acquired it and may avoid its official announcement due to its great crisis with Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

The Ballistic Moon studio team has a strong track record working with Sony. The studio is comprised of former Supermassive Games developers who worked on major titles like Until Dawn.

Recently, reports surfaced that the same studio is working on a major AAA single-player game project for the PlayStation 5 under the internal name Project Bates. Perhaps this unintentional Sony leak is a clear indication that the studio is already working with Sony within its studios.

We expect an announcement about this hidden acquisition soon.
