Breaking Bad's Secret Game That PlayStation Was Hiding

Despite its status as one of the greatest television series ever, Breaking Bad has never received a significant video game adaptation. However, a recent leak reveals that Walter White's universe almost made its way to virtual reality, alongside a mysterious horror game. According to an exclusive report from MP1ST, Firesprite—the British developer now part of PlayStation Studios following its acquisition by Sony—had been working on two ambitious projects that were ultimately shelved. Between 2017 and 2018, Firesprite developed an official immersive Breaking Bad experience for the original PlayStation VR. Designed as a narrative adventure, the game would have allowed players to explore iconic locations from the series and step into the world of Walter White. Players would have freely explored settings such as White’s backyard—including the pool—and the New Mexico desert where White and Jesse Pinkman conducted their business. Firesprite canceled the project before completion, while still operating independently from Sony.

Abandoned Firesprite's Cancelled Sci-Fi Horror VR Project Rumored as Until Dawn Successor

Following the cancellation of the Breaking Bad game, Firesprite began developing a new horror and science fiction IP between 2018 and 2020. Details are scarce, but the studio intended to create a dense and terrifying atmosphere within a sci-fi setting. Unfortunately, this title suffered the same fate and was discarded in the prototype phase. Sometime after these cancellations, Sony acquired Firesprite and put the studio to work on Horizon Call of the Mountain (for PS VR2). Firesprite is currently developing two major projects using Unreal Engine 5, and sources suggest that Project Heartbreak may be a follow-up to Until Dawn: The VR Experience. For now, the dream of cooking on a console in Walter White's shoes remains just that—a dream.
