Ever wondered what happens when the minds behind Journey and What Remains of Edith Finch team up? Well, they've just secured a massive $70 million to build a shared-world fantasy game.
The studio is called Gardens Interactive, and it's made up of designers who worked on those two beloved titles. They're creating an online 'strandbox' adventure – think of it as a sandbox where players can weave their own stories together.
Getting $70 million in funding is a huge vote of confidence. It means the team has the resources to take their time and craft something special, without the usual indie budget constraints.
For fans of Journey's emotional multiplayer or Edith Finch's narrative depth, this is exciting news. A shared-world game from these creators could blend the best of both: meaningful player interactions and rich storytelling.
The term 'strandbox' is a new one – it suggests a game where you're not just building alone, but creating connections with others. We don't know much else yet, but the pedigree alone is enough to get us hyped.
With this kind of backing, Gardens Interactive is poised to make a big splash in the online gaming space. Will it live up to the legacies of its founders? Only time will tell.
What do you think? Are you ready to explore a new shared-world fantasy from these acclaimed designers?
