Overview
- Paramount unveiled Paramount Games Studio Friday, folding Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media into a single development and publishing division.
- Tony Driscoll was named president of the new studio while retaining his role as executive vice president of corporate strategy and continuing to lead integration planning for the Warner Bros. Discovery transaction.
- Amy Hennig moved to the role of creative director and Julian Beak departed the company as part of the leadership reshuffle.
- Paramount confirmed that Skydance New Media’s Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars project remain in development and revealed first-party titles at Summer Game Fest including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin and Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game.
- The company says games will be a core content pillar alongside film and TV, a strategy that could expand further if the pending Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition clears regulators and adds new IP to the studio’s slate.
