Final Strike mentions on its website that it\u2019s working on an unannounced AAA PvP shooter for consoles and PC. Last year, it was speculated that the studio was working in collaboration with Deviation Games, which is currently developing a PS5 console-exclusive IP. Interestingly, Final Strike developer Eric Hewitt mentioned in a tweet last October that he was introduced to the team at Deviation as part of his induction at Final Strike.<\/p>\n

Just finished my first week at @FSGMultiplayer<\/a>.
I met some incredibly passionate people on the team throughout the last 5 days, and capped it off by joining @Tony_Flame<\/a> and his crew down in Santa Monica for some more introductions.
Extremely excited for what\u2019s to come ?\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
