Starlight Games made up of veterans with credits on Resident Evil, Horizon series and more
Former developers of futuristic racing classicWipEout- including the series’ co-creator - have formed a new studio with the co-creator ofSkateto work on a new sci-fi sports game.
Starlight Games is made up of devs including former Psygnosis veterans Gary Nichols and Nick Burcombe, and Skate co-creator Andy Santos, who also countsResident Evil: Operation Raccoon CityandHorizon Zero DawnVR spin-off Call of the Mountain among his credits.
While the name is new, the team is technically not, having worked together as Atomicom for over a decade. The shift to Starlight apparently comes as part of an effort to create new IP rather than their past focus as work-for-hire.
The first being teased is an untitled “futuristic sports game” directed by Burcombe. Its brief teaser trailer shows a bunch of people in sci-fi-looking suits rendered sharply in Unreal Engine 5 -Dead Space-like spine panels, check; glossy full-face helmets, check - before promising “the future of sports” at its end.
The second is described only as a “rogue-like science fiction strategy simulation management game”. (Thanks,GI.biz.)
The untitled futuristic sports game is due to get a full reveal in the next few months, with no word on when we might see more of the sci-fi roguelike.
