Overview
- GreaterThan Group, which was detailed Tuesday in Bloomberg reports, has raised about $100 million to fund Arcanaut’s Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, including $40 million in cash and roughly $60 million in commitments.
- The fund is led by former NetEase deals chief Simon Zhu, whose initial lineup also backs David Vonderhaar’s BulletFarm and Masato Sakai’s MAGship.
- Director Casey Hudson says he will keep the team small and rely on contractors rather than hiring hundreds of staff.
- Hudson rejects generative AI for creative work, calling it “creatively soulless” in the Bloomberg interview.
- He is designing a tighter, finishable single-player RPG with replayable paths and aims to release before 2030, with platforms and a date still unannounced.
