The post claims this new divisions is committed to focusing "on innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP," and will be completely separate from the console developers.
Along with the above announcements, they also revealed that Savage Game Studios are working on a "new unannounced AAA mobile live service action game," but stated it was "too early to reveal more."
