Sony has reportedly trusted the developers of PlayStation 5 exclusive Destruction AllStars with the rumored Twisted Metal revival. VGC reports that Lucid, the UK-based creators of Destruction AllStars, are working on the first new Twisted Metal installment in over a decade. Rumors of a Twisted Metal game surfaced earlier this month, when GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb said he had heard that a revival was in the works, but that it could be a long ways off. The television show the game is reportedly tied to will star Anthony Mackie as John Doe.There hasn’t been a mainline game in the series since 2012’s Twisted Metal reboot, which we called ‘amazing’ in our Twisted Metal review. According to one source in the report, the game will feature a free-to-play model, which would be similar to Destruction AllStars’ last-minute development shift. Have you played Destruction AllStars?YESNODestruction AllStars was originally set to be a full-priced, $70 launch title for the PS5. Just weeks before launch, the game was delayed into 2021 and was free to all PlayStation Plus subscribers for around two months, before being listed in the PlayStation Store for $20. The developers said it made the most sense to go free-to-play, to get the game to the, “widest audience possible.” Despite the goal to get the game in as many hands as possible, the developers added bots to the multiplayer to make up for times with low player counts. We called Destruction AllStars ‘okay’ in our review, saying, “There’s the basis of a great party game here too, but at launch it’s far too shallow an experience for Destruction AllStars to be considered one right now.”Logan Plant is a freelance writer for IGN.
