Game director Stig Asmussen, who left Respawn Entertainment last fall after making two games for publisher Electronic Arts, has a new studio. It's called Giant Skull, and he's bringing a long list of ex-Respawn talent to his new venture.
Asmussen's credits include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, its sequels, and several God of War games. So it should come as no surprise then that his new company is described as "dedicated to building gameplay-driven, story-immersed action-adventure games set in captivating worlds." Giant Skull's first untitled project is a "AAA single-player focused action-adventure," built in Unreal Engine 5, the developer said in a press release announcing the studio.
