With the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5’s release dates not affected by the Coronavirus, players and devs alike are starting to look forward to those next gen graphics. One studio in particular is really ready for it; Lightspeed Studio announced its formation and a tiny teaser for its flagship game.

LightSpeed and Quantum Studio are teaming up to make Lightspeed Studio, a development team that will be lead by former Rockstar Game’s Steve Martin. The press release states that the studio will “focus on the development and publishing of AAA titles for consoles.” Martin will be the Executive Producer for Development. It was also mentioned that this studio will be attempting to move away from the crunch culture as it develops “tactical competition, casual and social, MMORPGs;” even Naughty Dog made a reference to crunch culture in their latest hit, The Last of Us 2.
Although some bad news came out for Rockstar Games as stocks plummet with the announcement of Dan Houser’s retirement this year, it looks like at least one former Rockstar employee is looking to bigger things.
