A couple of weeks ago it became known that Bend Studios—one of SCEA’s internal studios that created the Syphon Filter series—was looking for programmers with experience working on PS3 games.

A couple of weeks ago it became known that Bend Studios—one of SCEA’s internal studios that created the Syphon Filter series—was looking for programmers with experience working on PS3 games. Now we have yet another piece of indirect evidence that PS3 users will get a continuation of the famous series.

The PCB Productions studio website contains information stating that the company is creating facial motion capture animation for the PS3 exclusive Syphon Filter 5. The game’s developer is listed as none other than Sony Bend Studios.

The likelihood of a new game in the Syphon Filter series appearing today is high, and the source seems quite reliable, but there has been no official confirmation of this information yet.

For less informed players, let us remind you that Syphon Filter is one of the most popular franchises of the PSOne era. Many viewed Syphon Filter as a competitor to Metal Gear Solid.

The original game was developed by Eidetic (which was Sony Bend’s name at the time) and released in 1999. The game received a fairly high average score (9/10) and critical acclaim. Several sequels followed: two for PSOne, one for PS2, and three for PSP.
