Former Treyarch studio co-head and Black Ops 3 director is heading up a new first-party PlayStation studio
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Five years after leaving Treyarch, former studio co-chief and Call of Duty producer Jason Blundell is heading up a new first-party PlayStation Studio called Dark Outlaw Games. "Dark Outlaw Games have been working away in the shadows for a while, and when we've got something to talk about we'll step out into the light," Blundell said in an interview with Jeff Gerstmann. "But the story for me is about the game, not about the studio. So the reason why we're not doing a fanfare or shouting about it from the rooftops is, let's get something, right? "It's such a privilege to be able to do it with Sony as a new first-party studio. Sony doesn't set up first-party studios all the time. To have that privilege is humbling, it's really nice. I'm really excited." Blundell said Dark Outlaw has been "staffing up [and] keeping it kind of low key" to this point, but declined to say anything specific about the studio's current status, much less what it's working on. "We're getting the team to jell, getting the ideas clicking—I'm a programmer at heart, so let's test those assumptions: Is it working, is it working? You're trying to hit that escape velocity." Blundell has a long list of credits to his name, beginning—just as he said—as a programmer on Starlancer in 2000. But he's best known for a long run on Call of Duty at Treyarch: He served as producer on Call of Duty 3 and Black Ops, directed two Zombies maps for Black Ops 2, and directed both the campaign and Zombies modes for Black Ops 3. He left Treyarch in 2020 after 13 years at the studio, saying his time at the studio "has been nothing short of awesome." This isn't Blundell's first comeback: In 2021 he launched a new studio alongside fellow Call of Duty veteran Dave Anthony in 2021 called Deviation Games. Interestingly, that studio's first project was being developed in partnership with Sony, but Blundell left Deviation just over a year later, in September 2022, and the studio closed in 2024 without releasing a game. Apparently that unhappy outcome hasn't diminished his enthusiasm. "It's very exciting," Blundell said in the interview. "I love the fact that still at this point in my career, I'm given these opportunities. It's always that desire to—again, you want to put that one extra disc on the wall, if you will, and can we bring something to an audience and excite them and get some new IPs ... that makes me jump out of bed every morning." 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together

Celebrity Great British Bake Off lineup revealed as new series begins
Kate Garraway, Roman Kemp, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and Maxine Peake are among the stars taking part in Celebrity Great British Bake Off when the new series kicks off tonight. Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will welcome 20 famous faces into the tent for the Stand Up To Cancer special where the star-studded lineup will have their baking skills judged by Paul Hollywood and Caroline Waldegrave, who is stepping in to replace Prue Leith. The celebrity lineup includes property presenter Sarah Beeny, Self Esteem singer Rebecca Lucy Taylor and comedian Adam Buxton. TV presenter siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas will also be joining the group, alongside model Ellie Goldstein and Loose Women panellist Gloria Hunniford. Celebrity couple Chris and Rosie Ramsey, known for their podcast and theatre tour Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed, will also go head-to-head in the new series. More names joining presenter Garraway and Chicken Shop date host Dimoldenberg include Ghosts actor Jim Howick, Black Ops star Gbemisola Ikumelo and comedian Jamali Maddix . Other names include actor Meera Syal, Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan, stand-up comedian Phil Wang, and Alma's Not Normal actor Sophie Willan. Leith, 85, had been a part of the much-loved baking programme since its move from the BBC to Channel 4 in 2017, replacing the expert role formerly held by Mary Berry. Her replacement, Waldegrave, is a close friend and co-owner of Leiths School of Food and Wine. Leith made the decision to take a hiatus from the celebrity edition of the show after she found it difficult to keep up her busy schedule. However, she was adamant that she was not quitting the show. She told This Morning last year: 'These things are filmed back-to-back all the way through summer from April to August so you don't get any time off,' she said. 'I'm getting quite old and there's places I want to see. So I'm not doing this year's.' She shut down rumours she was quitting, saying: 'It's absolutely not true at all! What I'm not doing this year is the celebrity one.' She later told MailOnline about the decision: 'I absolutely love working on Bake Off and am looking forward to filming the next series and meeting our new bakers.' 'I am only stepping back from the celebrity series, which is just a question of the filming commitment involved as we make these shows back to back.'
