MultiVersus Directors Launch Self-Funded Airlock Games, Unveil 'What the Stars Forgot'

The duo targets smaller, faster projects in a deliberate response to AAA development complexity.

Overview

  • Airlock Games is self-funded by MultiVersus veterans Justin Fischer, the former production director, and Brock Feldman, the former technical director.
  • The founders outline a business model focused on making smaller games efficiently as a purposeful shift away from large-scale AAA production.
  • Debut title What the Stars Forgot is a 16-bit sim-management horror game inspired by Star Trek and The Terror.
  • A Kickstarter campaign is live with a $25,000 goal, nearly $8,000 pledged as of publication, and it runs through November 27.
  • The team plans a Steam Early Access release later this year following WB Games’ shutdown of MultiVersus in May.
