Diablo co-creator announces new studio that will bring “hidden gems” to light

Skystone Games is here to help "projects that are absolutely special, but don’t ever really get the attention they deserve"

A new publishing and development house with a major pedigree is on the way. Skystone Games will focus on shining a light on teams working on “absolutely special” games worldwide, and is headed up by CEO Bill Wang – a former Perfect World exec with over a decade of industry experience – and president David Brevik – who, as one of the co-founders of Blizzard North, was a chief mind behind the original two Diablo games.

“One of the biggest joys in this industry is uncovering hidden gems,” Brevik says in a press release. “Projects that are absolutely special, but don’t ever really get the attention they deserve. That’s a problem we want to help solve.” Skystone will provide publishing services for its games alongside creative guidance and cross-studio development support.

Skystone’s first two projects include Undying, a zombie survival title where you play as a mother working to protect her son in the apocalyptic world. The other is Spaceline Crew, an Overcooked-style co-op game where players work together to help passengers through the cartoon terrors of commercial spaceflight.

Check out a trailer for Undying below.
