Thus was born Wildlight Entertainment
“For the past year, I’ve been hard at work building a new game studio staffed by some of the most amazing developers I’ve met in the past on Call of Duty, Titanfall, and Apex Legends. Today we can announce the creation of Wildlight Entertainment. »
This is how Chad Grenier, former designer at Infinity Ward and Game Director at Respawn Entertainment, announces the creation of the studio of which he is the head today.
The team is made up of around thirty people, among whom there are indeed many profiles who have worked on the games Titanfall, Titanfall 2, Apex Legends or several games from the Call of Duty series. From artistic profiles to technical engineers, the profiles are varied to create a new game.
We find for example Jason Mccord, design director on the two Titanfall and the original game Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, Brad Snyder, audio manager and former Senior Sound Designer at Respawn or Ryan Ehrenberg, former director of visual effects on Apex Legends.
What will be Wildlight Entertainment’s first game?
The studio has been careful not to communicate on a game for the moment, but we can easily guess that such a team will release a shooter rather than a real-time strategy game. The studio confirms that it has been working on a new franchise “for a while”, but that we will have to wait a little longer before finding out what it is.
The first visuals illustrating the studio are linked to icy landscapes in which you can see the aurora borealis. Another visual shows three characters from behind, two of whom are armed with rifles and one with a bow. They are from the back, but one could already imagine that it is a cooperative game, at least in part.
