Studio Behind Beautifully Haunting Sci-Fi Adventure Somerville Gets Second Shot At Independence
Briefly

Dino Patti, co-founder of Playdead, reclaims Jumpship following its complex ownership changes and aims to revitalize the studio's vision for innovative storytelling. After Jumpship was sold to Thunderful and then reacquired by Patti, he sets a new direction for the studio, despite the absence of co-founder Chris Olsen and the original team. The studio's debut game, Somerville, while visually evocative, faced criticism for its gameplay mechanics. Patti emphasizes the importance of reigniting passion and pushing emotional boundaries in gaming as he embarks on this new chapter for Jumpship.
"Jumpship has always been about pushing the boundaries of emotions, storytelling, and innovation in gaming," Patti said.
"This is more than just a business decision; it's about reigniting the passion and vision that first sparked Jumpship-while taking it further than ever before," Patti said.
