Bungie founder Alex Seropian leads the new studio and its first title will be shooter Outlaw Corral

EA, Bungie, and Kongerate alums have formed a new games studio Look North World.

The developer was established by Alex Seropian, Jay Pecho, Patrick Moran, Kyle Marks, Aaron Marroquin, and Prashant Patil.

Seropian, who founded Bungie Studios, will serve as North World's CEO.

Pecho is the chief financial officer, and Morgan is chief operating officer. Marks is the studio's creative director, and Marroquin is the principal artist. Meanwhile, Patil is Look North World's art director.

The studio's first game will be Outlaw Corral, a Wild West inspired shooter, will be available on Unreal Engine for Fortnite. Look North World said it is the first of several games being developed.

"Developing in UEFN opens a whole new world of opportunities, and we are in uncharted territory. Through experimentation, we will see what the players like and involve them in decisions, said Seropian.

"We are jumping into it with a 'the virtual sky is the limit' mentality. As we develop creative ideas, we will learn how these platforms engage, entertain and boost social interactions in order to iterate accordingly."

So they will create it in Fortnite? Like Dreams made it possible for games to be created?

Best of luck to them!

Can’t say a Wild West shooter with Fortnite visuals excite me in the slightest..

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yes, UEFN makes it possible to create Fortnite content, its basically nothing.

Was about to quote the same. Shouldn't it be free and non monetised if it's under another game library ?

Unreal Engine for Fortnite

weird, but no actual idea what that means for a new game.

ex-bungie? so that big money bag Sony offers isn't what some employees and some higher ups want.

No. Epic will taka a cut (60%), but the idea behind Unreal Editor for Fortnite is that everyone should be able to make games and make money from them.
Some say this will change the gaming industry.

The Bungie that Sony bought has barely anything to do with the Bungie of yore. Almost all people of that era are long gone.

Weird name. Weird game.

So those few names are all that is?
They barely started to form the staff?
I assumed those were just the heads and took with them a bunch of people (and come from current Bungie and EA. Veteran can be anything and being a veteran from 20 years ago is kinda meh).

His career seems to not have a huge impact on anything after his bungie departure. So it's not like Respawn that we can expect success.
