Former God of War 3 and Jedi: Survivor Director Sets New Studio “Giant Skull;” Working on AAA Story-Driven Action Game

If you liked God of War 3 and Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel, Jedi: Survivor, you might want to keep an eye out for Giant Skull — a new studio established by video game veteran Stig Asmussen who directed both GoW3 and Respawn Entertainment’s two Jedi games.

Asmussen left Respawn in September 20234 to form his new studio in Los Angeles, though it will feature remote workers from around the globe. Giant Skull is a new AAA studio developing a single-player-focused action-adventure game on Unreal Engine 5.

“The Giant Skull studio culture is focused on creativity and curiosity. We have assembled a talented team renowned for immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal, and our goal is to craft a rich universe that players will want to lose themselves in for years to come.”  – Stig Asmussen, CEO of Giant Skull

The Giant Skull website is now live, and what’s more, it features “an endless amount of possible commands” that people can input on the terminal which should unlock secrets and other whatnot. Perhaps more info regarding the studio’s project can be obtained this way?

Given Asmussen’s past projects, a single-player game that’s heavy on narrative and based on action is exactly what we’re expecting the studio to do — and to do well. Here’s hoping we hear more about Giant Skull’s project soon.

Released last year, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor made such an impression that it even cracked our Top 10 Games of 2023! If you haven’t picked it up yet, go read my review of it here.
