NetEase Games, in collaboration with renowned game developer Greg Street, has officially introduced the establishment of Fantastic Pixel Castle and initiated the development of their inaugural AAA MMO game, tentatively named Ghost, within an entirely fresh fantasy realm.
Prior to this endeavor, Street held the position of lead systems designer at Blizzard Entertainment, contributing significantly to World of Warcraft, and more recently, he served as the executive producer for Riot Games‘ League of Legends MMO. Joining Street are co-founders boasting a profound devotion to the MMO genre, as well as extensive experience in crafting massively popular titles, such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, Fortnite, Overwatch, and Valorant.
NetEase games back Fantastic Pixel Castle’s vision for original fantasy MMO
Fantastic Pixel Castle has adopted a remote-first organizational model and is actively searching for qualified candidates to join their team. The studio will offer each individual the necessary autonomy and support to bring the game “Ghost” to life.
With Fantastic Pixel Castle and Ghost, the studio aims to showcase their dedication to open communication and player-centric development. Crafting MMOs is recognized as one of the most challenging game genres, but the studio possesses significant advantages. Operating as a fully remote studio allows them to recruit top-tier game developers while maintaining a small team size for agile design iteration.
