Lars Gustavsson, the previous artistic director on DICE’s Battlefield video games and—far more importantly—the person they used to name “Mr Battlefield,” has a brand new studio. Unveiled this morning, TTK Video games is a brand new, Stockholm-based studio engaged on a “new, next-generation on-line shooter”.
After a protracted silence I’m thrilled to disclose that my pals Vidar Nygren, @Khoplin , Peter Hoyles, and I’ve began an a brand new impartial studio @WeAreTTKGames in Stockholm. We’re engaged on a brand new on-line shooter and may’t wait to inform you extra about it. See you on…line! 😉May 23, 2023
May that new, next-generation shooter take some cues from Battlefield? Who can say! It is gonna be years till we see it in motion, however we’d be capable of intuit one thing from the remainder of the TTK founders. Becoming a member of Gustavsson as co-founders are:
- Daniel Berlin, former lead world designer and design director on a number of Battlefield video games.
- Vidar Nygren, former Battlefield technical director and the man who directed improvement on EA’s Frostbite engine.
- Peter Hoyles, former studio artwork director for DICE LA and artist on a number of video games from, you guessed it, Battlefield.
So if I had been going to learn the tea leaves on this one, I would suppose that possibly no matter TTK’s first undertaking is may end up just a little one thing like Battlefield. I could possibly be flawed, in fact, possibly the 4 co-founders are sick of the Battlefield system and need to strike out at one thing new.
TTK says it is secured “vital funding” for its initiatives, which positive sounds good, and says it is maintained its “artistic freedom” too. I hear Battlefield 2042 is really good now, however I feel there are various disaffected followers nonetheless lingering round on the market ready for a sport that fits them. If TTK comes out the gate with a robust various, I believe it might simply decide numerous them up.
