Activision has announced it’s opening a brand new AAA studio based in Poland called Elsewhere Entertainment. This new studio will be “exclusively focused on creating a new narrative-based and genre-defining AAA franchise.”
“Built from the ground up, Elsewhere Entertainment is a premier and standalone studio dedicated to establishing an environment that inspires bold and diverse ideas,” Activision said. “The team’s underlying mission encourages everyone to explore and collaborate creatively to craft a franchise with an enduring legacy that resonates far beyond games.”
Activision says that the team at Elsewhere Entertainment includes developers from games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Far Cry, The Division, and Destiny.
The first game from the studio wasn’t revealed as part of the announcement. What was said, however, is that the first game will be part of an “all new franchise”.
“The new studio has full access to Activision’s resources and tools as it continues to increase production and development,” the company said. “Elsewhere is opening its search for best-in-class talent from across the industry and around the world to help create a state-of-the-art and next generation gaming experience.”
