Ruckus Games Secures $19M for Innovative Multiplayer RPG Shooter

The new studio, led by former Borderlands 3 director Paul Sage, aims to redefine co-op gaming with a unique suburban invasion theme.

Ruckus Games, founded by industry veterans from Gearbox, Riot, and Blizzard, is developing a co-op third-person RPG shooter.
The game will feature a large roster of characters and creative weapon combinations, set against a nostalgic American heartland backdrop.
The studio emphasizes a player-centric development approach, incorporating early feedback from playtesters to shape the game's evolution.
Funding was led by Krafton and includes contributions from Bitkraft Ventures, Transcend, and Hypergryph, supporting the game's development and global reach.
Ruckus Games plans to keep its team small, focusing on high-quality production while maintaining lower development costs compared to traditional triple-A studios.
