Darewise Entertainment, founded by "games industry visionaries Randy Smith and Viktor Antonov", have announced a brand new sci-fi MMO in development called Project C. The game features a single-shard virtual experience with the story being continually updated with new chapters and "containing a fully simulated ecosystem of creatures and resources" where players choose the outcomes and create permanent change in the world.
“Darewise has evolved, over the last year, from a publisher outsourcing the development of mid-tier games to a more traditional game development studio. We’re now maximising the tremendous expertise across the team to produce our own AAA-level games, and develop major IPs.”
“Project C is the first step of this ambitious journey, to become a quality-first independent company, competing in the AAA field with truly innovative experiences. Our inspiration comes from companies such as Pixar or Bungie, who have been committed to quality and amazing company culture since day one.”
Randy Smith was a designer on Thief and Viktor Antonov was the art director on both Half-Life 2 and Dishonored. Other staff have experience on a variety of titles including Might & Magic, DOOM, Call of Duty, Mafia, The Division, Assassin's Creed and more.
Earlier this year, Darewise confirmed its partnership with Improbable Entertainment, developers of SpatialOS.
