Few development teams are in a position to say that they work at the same time for Microsoft and Sony. Who can proclaim him high and clear is the Polish study People Can Fly (Outriders, Bulletstorm), which today announced the signing of an agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment to carry out the game prototype with name in Project Delta code that is based on an intellectual property belonging to the PlayStation company.

The terms of the agreement say that People Can Fly has been hired for a job at commission, which means that he will develop a game for Sony, which will act as editor, and change will receive a consideration. The Polish company details that the ambition of the project and the contractual conditions do not differ too much from any other agreement to carry out such a project. In the absence of more information, the first doubt is whether the intellectual property that People Can Fly will use is known and is part of the Sony catalog or is an original work whose rights belong to Japanese multinational.

As Gematsu notes, the language that People Can Fly has used in his statement is very similar to the one he used in 2023 when he revealed an agreement with Microsoft for the production of Project Maverick. At that time the Polish company announced that it was working on commission with an intellectual property of Microsoft, and also left in the air the doubt of whether it was new or original. What he did detail was that the budget contributed entirely by the American technology was between 30 and 50 million dollars.

Today we already know that Project Maverick referred to Gears of War: E-Day, a game in which People Can Fly acts as a co-developer with The Coalition. This means that People Can Fly could be the main developer or the co -developmental in the Sony project. Time will get us out of doubt.
