Former id Software team members Emanuel Palalic and Garrett Young have announced the establishment of a new game development studio named emptyvessel. The studio’s debut game is revealed to be a cyberpunk-style AAA shooter, utilizing the Unreal Engine 5.
Based in Austin, Texas, emptyvessel boasts a large office but employs remote workers from around the globe. The team includes individuals with experience from studios like Naughty Dog and Activision, who have worked on acclaimed titles such as DOOM, Quake, Call of Duty, Last of Us, Borderlands, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and Callisto Protocol.
Emanuel Palalic, the CEO and game director, aims to create top-tier AAA games with a smaller team than what larger companies typically utilize. The studio’s focus is on the quality of game developers and follows a Developer-First approach in game development.
