New Triple-A Studio Emptyvessel Formed by Industry Veterans

Emptyvessel, a developer-founded studio, aims to innovate in AAA game development with a focus on immersive shooters and creative freedom.

Industry veterans from Id Software, Naughty Dog, and Activision have launched a new triple-A studio named Emptyvessel, focusing on immersive shooters.
The studio, based in Austin, Texas, operates fully remotely with a global team and emphasizes a developer-first approach to game development.
Emptyvessel's debut game, 'The System,' is an immersive shooter inspired by dystopian sci-fi worlds, powered by Unreal Engine 5.
The studio has secured initial seed funding from Sisu Game Ventures, with additional investment from notable figures in the gaming industry.
Emptyvessel aims to create high-quality games with smaller, focused teams, challenging traditional AAA game development models.
