First Game From Blizzard Co-Founder's New Studio Is A Tactics RPG Meant To Be Played In-Person
The first internally developed video game from Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime's publisher Dreamhaven is Sunderfolk, a tactical, fantasy co-op RPG meant to be played in person, with players using their phone as their controller.
Sunderfolk comes from Dreamhaven's Secret Door studio, which is composed of numerous ex-Blizzard employees and includes studio head Chris Sigaty, who worked at Blizzard for over 20 years and served as a lead producer on games like Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and World of Warcraft.
"The board game table is something very special, and we wanted to create a video game that had those same elements," Sigaty said in Sunderfolk's announcement trailer.
