Publisher NetEase Games and award-winning game developer Greg Street today announced the founding of a new development studio named Fantastic Pixel Castle.
The studio has begun work on a new AAA MMORPG, codenamed Ghost, that is set in a fantasy universe.
Greg Street has previously worked as lead systems designer on World of Warcraft before taking on the role of executive producer on Riot Games’ upcoming League of Legends MMORPG.
He is joined by a team of developers who have contributed to a variety of different successful titles, including League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, Fortnite, Overwatch, and Valorant.
“With Fantastic Pixel Castle and Ghost, we want to demonstrate our commitment to open communication and development in front of players,” said Greg Street, studio head of Fantastic Pixel Castle.
“MMOs are arguably one of the most challenging genres of games to make, but we have some big advantages. We are a fully remote studio, allowing us to hire the best game developers, and we plan to stay small, so that we can iterate on our design quickly. We also want to show the game early and often to the community and make sure we are on the right track to incorporate constant feedback. This is possible because NetEase Games is a strategic partner that understands our vision, and gives us the creative autonomy, resources and support to be successful.”
More information about Fantastic Pixel Castle is available on its official website and in the video embedded below.
In addition, the studio’s founding team will host a Twitch livestream on November 8, during which it will answer questions from the community.
