Activision, the renowned gaming giant behind the likes of Call of Duty and Overwatch, has been secretly working on a mysterious project through its newest development team, Elsewhere Entertainment. As it stands, details about the project remain scarce, but recent developments have shed some light on what we can expect from the team.
Initially, it was known that Elsewhere Entertainment had set up shop in Warsaw, Poland. However, the latest news indicates that the studio is expanding its scope, opening up new job positions based in Malmo, Sweden. The move to Malmö is particularly significant, considering the fact that this region is already home to some notable game development studios such as Just Cause developer Avalanche and Star Wars Outlaws developer Massive. Hitman developer IO Interactive also has an office in the area.
It is worth noting that Elsewhere Entertainment has been described as a studio tasked with developing an "all-new franchise" – one that is based on narratives. Previous job postings by the studio highlighted the need for candidates skilled in creating narrative-based content, but so far, none of the available information provides specific details on what the IP will entail.
This development suggests that Elsewhere Entertainment may be ramping up work on its secretive new franchise. News of the project expansion comes as a surprise, but the secrecy that has shrouded the entirety of the project has generated increased curiosity and interest among gaming enthusiasts. The coming weeks will likely be filled with increased job postings as the team continues to grow.
Although gamers worldwide are eager to hear more about the new IP, we can’t help but entertain the potential it carries for changing the gaming landscape. Be sure to follow gaming news websites and Elsewhere Entertainment’s website to stay informed about upcoming updates.
As of now, many questions remain unanswered: What genre will the new IP be? Will it feature competitive multiplayer or focus on single-player gameplay? How long has the studio been working on this undisclosed project, and when can we expect a release window? Unfortunately, such details remain under wraps for now, fuelling anticipation as else were entertainment strives to surprise us with the best gaming experience ever produced.
