The reports of a Twisted Metal TV series have existed since 2019. Also, series fans have known for a while that this was happening. Unfortunately, Sony did not reveal anything else outside of its existence.

What can we expect from the Twisted Metal series? Several outlets have reported that Anthony Mackie will play the lead role in the upcoming Twisted Metal TV show.Īlongside the announcement of the PSVR 2, Sony also dropped news about the upcoming Twisted Metal TV series. Sony's Twisted Metal announcement was one of the more surprising reveals at CES 2022.Īt CES 2022, Sony confirmed that it's reviving the Twisted Metal series, but it's not going to be in the same form. Unfortunately, because we haven't seen a new Twisted Metal game be released in more than a console generation, newer gamers have no clue how good these chaotic racing games were back in their heyday. Even though this could have been in part because the game wasn't critically all that well-received, it stands as proof that a return from Twisted Metal on PS5 might need to explore other means of releasing.There was a time when Twisted Metal was synonymous with the PlayStation brand. In fact, the most recent entry in the franchise, which was 2012's Twisted Metal on PlayStation 3, failed to find a major audience after it launched. While Twisted Metal has always been a series adored by hardcore PlayStation fans, it has never been one that sells millions of copies. The idea that a new Twisted Metal game would look to try out the free-to-play format makes sense not only when accounting for the previous track record with Destruction All Stars, but also when looking at the sales that the franchise has accrued in the past. Since leaving PS Plus, however, the game's notoriety has started to dip, and the larger player base has started to dwindle over the months. When Destruction All Stars first arrived in this manner, the game had a consistent audience of new players looking to jump in and experience the title. PlayStation is said to be interested in the model after it released Destruction All Stars via PlayStation Plus for a limited time to coincide with the game's launch earlier this year.

Yes, according to VGC, Lucid Games' upcoming Twisted Metal project is going to potentially be free-to-play.
