Overview
- Harry Krueger announced the formation of Cosmic Division on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, establishing the Helsinki-based studio and naming himself founder and CEO.
- Krueger spent nearly 15 years at Housemarque where he worked on Resogun, Nex Machina and directed Returnal, and he left that studio in 2023 before founding Cosmic Division.
- Cosmic Division’s first project is described by the studio as a new single-player intellectual property for PC and consoles that will be an "unapologetically gameplay-first experience" with a story designed to deliver strong emotional resonance.
- The studio says it has completed an undisclosed seed financing round, is actively hiring to form a compact team, and is seeking additional investors and collaborators to expand development capacity.
- The launch follows a wider industry trend of senior developers forming small, craft-focused teams, and the next major milestone to watch is the studio’s full game announcement, for which no genre, mechanics, or release window have yet been revealed.
