NetEase Games today revealed BulletFarm as its newest AAA game development studio based in Los Angeles, California. Led by David Vonderhaar, an industry veteran best known for his work on the Call of Duty: Black Ops series, its founding team also includes fellow Treyarch alumnus Chris Cowell in the role of creative director.
BulletFarm is currently working on its debut game which is developed using Unreal Engine 5 and set in an original universe. As opposed to Vonderhaar’s previous work, it promises “an emphasis on co-operative gameplay.”

The title aims to “craft a more intimate and relatable experience while offering a fresh take on first-person gameplay,” according to an emailed press release.
BulletFarm is a studio with a remote-first approach that is currently seeking to fill several key roles while actively recruiting members to join the founding team.
“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,” said Vonderhaar.
“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.”
“NetEase Games is fully dedicated to giving BulletFarm the resources and support required to build this new first person experience,” added Simon Zhu, president of global investments and partnerships at NetEase Games.
“David’s leadership and the early collection of game development talent assembled at the studio is set to offer something truly unique for his existing fans along with a new audience.”
More details about BulletFarm and its currently open roles are available on its official website.
