The Cancelled Twisted Metal Game Was a Battle Royale?!

The cancelled live service Twisted Metal game from Sony and developer Firesprite was reportedly planned to be a third person Battle Royale. The game which had been planned to launch to coincide with the Twisted Metal TV series had plans as a 3rd person shooter with 3rd person vehicle combat with the objective to be the last one standing. The details come from a CV of a former Firesprite developer. Do you think a Twisted Metal Battle Royale could have worked, or would it have joined the growing list of failed Sony Live Service games?
