A team of developers and industry veterans with credits ranging from Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studio to Respawn Entertainment has come together to form Wildlight Entertainment, a “fully-funded” remote-first studio that has been “working on a new IP for quite some time.”

Founded in 2021 according to the studio’s LinkedIn page, Wildlight Entertainment is composed of video game developers and industry veterans united by their work on Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends. The studio describes itself as “remote-first, hybrid friendly” and currently has offices in Los Angeles and Seattle.

Besides Apex Legends, the 28-strong team (per its staff page) has credits across virtually the entire spectrum of gaming genres, including Call of Duty, Titanfall, God of War, Uncharted, Halo, and even What Remains of Edith Finch. The “fully-funded” studio has been “working on a new IP for quite some time” since its inception. No details have been revealed about the project or its scale, but the studio’s self-described “deep passion for making AAA games” makes it likely that the project will be a premium AAA console title.
