Robert Bowling, a name familiar to many due to his past involvement with the Call of Duty franchise, has announced the launch of a new development studio. This fresh endeavor follows the unfortunate conclusion of his previous project, Midnight Society, and signals his latest return to the gaming industry.

The new studio is making headlines not just for its founder, but for a unique mission statement aimed at addressing the longevity of games. Adopting a philosophy reminiscent of movements advocating for game preservation, Bowling’s new team has committed to an unconventional path for titles that don’t achieve commercial success: they will be released as open source. This innovative approach seeks to prevent games from being lost entirely, offering a chance for community engagement and continued life for otherwise struggling projects.
