Industry veteran David Vonderhaar left Activision and Treyarch last year after more than 18 years working on Call of Duty games. Today, he announced the establishment of a new studio with the support of Chinese publisher NetEase.
Vonderhaar's new studio is called BulletFarm and will be located in Los Angeles. Currently, the studio is seeking to recruit and build a world-class team of developers to deliver ambitious original games.
Their first project will be a first-person AAA title, built in Unreal Engine 5 with an emphasis on co-operative gameplay. The official press release states that the game "will craft a more intimate and relatable experience while offering a fresh take on first-person gameplay."
Vonderhaar said that this new opportunity will give him a chance to make something completely different, a departure from the games he worked on so far. He promises rich characters and plenty of action among other things.
"Starting this new studio has given me a chance to step out of my comfort zone and try my hand at making something entirely new and different.
This is a departure from the games I’ve worked on, but one that showcases my passion for rich characters, precise mechanics, more intimate storytelling, and plenty of action," said David Vonderhaar, Studio Head at BulletFarm.
Publisher NetEase said they are fully committed to giving their new studio the money and support required to build this AAA title. According to NetEase Games' Simon Zhu, the studio led by Vonderhaar is set to deliver something truly unique for both his existing fans and new audience.
BulletFarm also has a fancy new website, which you can check here for more details on the studio and their yet-untitled new game.
