North Beach Games has formed a new development studio in Czech Republic, North Beach Games Prague, to help develop a sequel to its survival crafting game Stranded Deep.
North Beach Games Prague and Stranded Deep 2 will be headed up by Chief Technology Officer and survival crafting game designer, Sam Edwards (Beam Team Games, creator of Stranded Deep), and General Manager, Tomáš Pšenička (Keen Software House, creator of Space Engineers).
“We’re super excited to be kicking off the development of Stranded Deep 2 with our new development team, North Beach Games Prague,” said Sam Edwards, Creative Director and Chief Technology Officer of North Beach Games. “Tomas and his talented team will be a great partner to build out the studio as we look to the future of the franchise and explore new horizons.”
North Beach Games is currently working with developer Free Range Games to release The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria on PC via Steam and Xbox Series X/S on 27th August.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Sam and Tomáš into the North Beach Games fold, heading up our new Prague development studio,” said John Miller, CEO of North Beach Games.
“We’ve worked with both of them for years as partners, so to all be on the same team is a great feeling and will allow us to do even more exciting work together in the survival crafting space. After all of the volatility in the market and industry for the past year, the time feels right to start this next chapter of our business, carving our own path towards a positive future for our company.”
Stranded Deep 2 is in development for the PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. It currently doesn’t have a release date.
