When you plant a bullet on a BulletFarm, do you get a full bandolier like peas in a pod? Or do you pull an ammo field out of the bottom like potatoes?
At the least that’s what I think about they’re doing at BulletFarm, a brand new sport improvement studio helmed by former Name of Responsibility studio director David Vonderhaar, underneath the banner of writer NetEase Video games.
BulletFarm is a brand new “AAA” studio
Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, BulletFarm is “at the moment creating a brand new and bold AAA sport, inbuilt Unreal Engine 5 and set in an authentic universe with an emphasis on co-operative gameplay”.
Connoisseurs of unscoped sniper rifles and YouTube montages will know Vonderhaar because the multiplayer design director on Name of Responsibility: World at Conflict – a superb CoD sport that solely sometimes nonetheless offers me grenade indicator-based nightmares about taking part in the marketing campaign on veteran problem – earlier than he moved as much as turn out to be studio design route on the Black Ops sequence.
BulletFarm’s first challenge continues to be but to be introduced, however Vonderhaar’s pedigree within the first-person shooter style will certainly play a task, as will his expertise with one of many largest multiplayer modes in gaming (notably when “cooperative gameplay” has acquired a selected shoutout).
Additionally on the event crew at BulletFarm is inventive director Chris Cowell, who has beforehand labored as principal sport designer and lead sound designer at Treyarch.
Given we’re simply on the studio announcement stage, BulletFarm’s debut sport is probably going years sooner or later, particularly when Cowell’s LinkedIn says he’s been engaged on the challenge for simply 5 months.
Vonderhaar and Cowell aren’t the one ex-Name of Responsibility builders who’ve turned their skills to heading bold new sport studios. Notably in 2023, we additionally noticed the discharge of Immortals of Aveum from Ascendant Studios underneath EA Video games. Ascendant Studios’ head, Bret Robbins, was the inventive director of one other Name of Responsibility studio, Sledgehammer Video games.
