Earlier this year, WB Games announced the cancellation of MultiVersus, and the game was shut down in May. Now, two of the directors of MultiVersus have revealed that they are joining forces to launch a new studio, Airlock Games, which will be completely self-funded.
MultiVersus production director Justin Fischer and technical director Brock Feldman are the founding members of Airlock Games, and the duo previously worked on Disney Infinity and Medal of Honor. Rather than diving back into AAA games, Fischer and Feldman plan to focus on making smaller games more quickly.
“We’ve spent years working on high-profile AAA titles, but we missed the wonderful, reckless creativity of more focused games,” said the pair in a statement. “It’s a space where we can focus on providing new experiences that interest us both as players and developers. We’re so excited to have the freedom to take creative risks, push boundaries, and tell stories that just aren’t feasible for AAA productions.”
