Sure thing, here’s a revised version:

So, it’s Wednesday—or at least, that’s when I’m tapping this out—and PlayStation’s got news. They’ve got a newbie in the studio club. It’s like they’re hosting an awkward meet and greet. Don’t worry, these folks won’t bite. I mean, only the execs do, right?
So, this shiny new team is called teamLFG. They’re cooking up some multiplayer magic. Apparently, they’re inspired by “frog-type games”—whatever that’s supposed to mean. Got this juicy tidbit from a PS Blog post where Sony bigwig Hermen Hulst is all fatherly about his latest studio addition. Kind of feels like if you don’t keep things afloat, you might find yourself booted from his will. Metaphorically, obviously.
Anyway, teamLFG—it stands for “Looking For Group” if you’re wondering—hails from Bellvue, Washington. They’ve got a mix of fresh faces and veterans who’ve dipped their toes in games like Destiny, Halo, and League of Legends. They’re an offshoot from Bungie, and they say they’re all about nailing top-tier action gameplay and building virtual worlds where people actually want to hang out.
In short, PlayStation’s diving headfirst into this live-service trend. teamLFG’s first project? It’s an “incubation project”—a fancy word for something still hatching, probably mentioned somewhere in the chaos of the Bungie layoff announcements. It’s a team-based action game pulling vibes from fighters, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and yes, those mysterious frog-type games. Picture a universe with myth, sci-fi, and a good sense of humor. Intrigued yet?
Now, about this “frog-type games” business. Not just your average frog antics like Frogger. Nope, we’re talking about something else entirely. Could it be a mashup—like a hero shooter with some Tekken flair, a dash of Mario, a sprinkle of Dota 2, all wrapped in a universe where, maybe, the Crazy Frog reigned supreme? Who knows.
Probably not quite that, but it sounds like we’ll get to play around early. teamLFG is keen on feedback, so we’ll see where that takes us.
So, what do you think? Is this quirky frog-inspired mix what PlayStation needs? I’m curious to see what they cook up. You too? Spill your thoughts below.
