Bend Studio

The project never went into production and Blank repurposed the idea for an American football video game with an ambiance resembling a TV broadcast.

[4] According to Arnie Katz of Electronic Games, these releases proved Blank, Berlyn & Co. "tremendously successful".

[2] Following these releases, Blank, Berlyn & Co. looked to expand further, changing its name to Eidetic in April 1995 and recruiting technical director Christopher Reese.

[3] Thereafter, 989 Studios, a division of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), approached Eidetic with a one-page pitch for Syphon Filter, an action and stealth game.

[3][8] Due to missing deadlines and making changes to the game's structure, story and mechanics, Syphon Filter was almost canceled several times.

[7] Eidetic continued developing Syphon Filter games for SCE, creating six further until 2007, uninterrupted by any other release.

After the game's 2009 release, Bend Studio dedicated nine employees to Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the PlayStation Vita.

[11] Bend Studio's first original intellectual property (IP) after Syphon Filter was Days Gone, released in April 2019 for the PlayStation 4.

[13] Bend Studio has distanced itself from Garvin after his complaint on Twitter where he blamed "woke" reviewers for the middling critical reception of Days Gone.
