Firesprite's Unreleased Breaking Bad VR Experience Revealed
PlayStation's ventures into virtual reality, particularly with the PS VR2, have often been met with a lukewarm reception. Despite this, key titles like Horizon: Call of the Mountain have emerged, developed by Firesprite, a studio frequently tapped by Sony for its VR initiatives.
Firesprite has navigated a challenging period marked by layoffs and game cancellations. Amidst this turbulence, new information has surfaced, revealing the studio's prior work on a Breaking Bad-themed virtual reality project.
The project was not envisioned as a traditional game, given Breaking Bad's narrative focus, but rather as a dedicated VR experience. It was reportedly in production between 2017 and 2018, targeting the original PSVR system.
Described as a 'narrative experience,' it drew comparisons to early PSVR titles like Stranger Things: The VR Experience – short, cinematic ventures focused on storytelling. Potential scenarios included exploring Walter White's home and backyard, along with segments set in the iconic New Mexico desert.
The project was ultimately canceled around 2018, approximately a year after reports initially surfaced that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was collaborating with Sony Interactive Entertainment on an undisclosed VR endeavor.
