Sony Interactive Entertainment has inked a deal with Bad Robot and Mike Booth's production company to develop a co-op shooter game for PlayStation 5 and PC. The project, directed by the mastermind behind the Left 4 Dead series, promises to build upon the foundations of what made that franchise special – teamwork, tension, and replayability.
In a recent update on Reddit, Booth confirmed he was hard at work on this new co-op shooter, which appears to be an expansion of the co-op formula in ways he's long wanted to explore. While still in its early stages, Booth hinted that Bad Robot is inviting fans to sign up for playtests, signaling a strong interest in gathering feedback from enthusiasts.
As a new game from Bad Robot Games – a fully remote studio formed with Tencent in 2018 and boasting notable credits like the interactive streaming series Silent Hill: Ascension – this project represents the company's first major in-house development effort. The prospect of co-op gameplay set within the Cloverfield universe is particularly intriguing, potentially marking the beginning of an entirely new franchise.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has thus far kept most details under wraps regarding the game's release window and marketing strategy, but with Bad Robot on board, fans can expect a thrilling experience that combines co-op play, tension, and replayability.

, I mean, co-op shooters are always a blast to play, and having the mastermind behind Left 4 Dead at the helm is a major win 
. I've been waiting for something like this from Bad Robot Games – they're already making waves with their interactive series Silent Hill: Ascension 
.
, it shows he's all about gathering feedback and building a community around the game. And the Cloverfield universe is like, so dark and gritty – I love how they're exploring new ways to create tension in co-op gameplay 
.
. If done right, it has the potential to become a new franchise – think about all the possibilities! 
and can u believe its coming out on ps5 & pc?! 
that means we'll get to play it with our friends online or maybe even in local multiplayer mode? 
the fact that they're inviting fans for playtests is a huge thumbs up from me, bc who doesn't love getting feedback from fellow gamers! 
and let's be real, the cloverfield universe is already so scary & suspenseful, can u imagine co-op gameplay within it?! 
a new co-op shooter from bad robot is like, exactly what we need right now - it's all about the vibes of working together with your squad & that tension build-up is giving me LIFE 
i'm low-key hoping they'll include some creepy atmospheric sound design tho 
. They're gonna waste our time with a bunch of co-op gameplay and charge us an arm and a leg for it. And what's with the Cloverfield universe? Can't they come up with something new and not rely on old IPs? I'm sure it'll be just another shallow shooter that nobody will remember in a year 
. And those playtests they're having? Just a way to collect our feedback so they can make even more money off of us 
can't wait for a co-op shooter set in cloverfield universe gonna have to get my squad together ASAP 
hope they release it soon enough so we can start screaming at each other in the game 
I've been playing Left 4 Dead with my friends online and it's always such a blast 
Can you even imagine the thrill of playing with your friends while exploring the creepy world from the movies? 
. And let's be real, how cool is it to have a studio formed by Tencent 
. I'm not sure what's more exciting - the gameplay or the fact that we get to be a part of it through playtests 
. Can't wait to dive into this world and show off my skills with my friends!
That's like the ultimate horror setting for co-op gameplay. I'm low-key hoping they'll release some gameplay vids soon so we can get our eyes on it! 
! And with Sony on board, you can bet it's gonna be a beast of a game. The fact that fans get to sign up for playtests means we'll be among the first to know what's coming 
! Bring on the Cloverfield co-op goodness 
. Bad Robot's involvement is a big plus, they've done some awesome stuff in the past. Can't wait to see how this project unfolds and get my hands on it ASAP
