At a tumultuous time for the games industry, a melting pot of experienced devs from studios like Bethesda, Ubisoft, and Capybara Games have co-founded a new studio, Soft Rains, including studio head Joel Burgess, game director Matt Scott, technical director Jules Glegg, narrative director Kaitlin Tremblay, and world director Daryl Brigner.
Between them, the team has worked on games like Skyrim, Fallout 3 (and 4, and 76), Valorant, A Mortician's Tale, and the un-put-downable Grindstone. Soft Rains' debut game is a first-person sci-fi adventure built in Unreal Engine 5, and former Skyrim, Fallout, Grindstone, and Watch Dogs: Legion dev Burgess says he doesn't "feel too bashful about seeing some of the DNA of stuff that we've worked on before." That said, this is "not a spiritual successor" to their previous games, Burgess stresses, so don't expect Soft Rains to make "a little Skyrim."
