Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's director has founded a brand new studio in LA full of industry veterans, and they're currently working on a new action-adventure game in Unreal Engine 5.
Former Sony and Respawn veteran Stig Asmussen is continuing to make games, this time as the boss of a new LA-based studio called Giant Skull. After heading up both Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel, Survivor, at Respawn over the past decade, Asmussen is now leading his own studio as its CEO.
"The Giant Skull studio culture is founded on creativity and curiosity," Asmussen says. "We have assembled a talented team renowned for immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal, and our goal is to craft a rich universe that players will want to lose themselves in for years to come."

They're all working on a new action-adventure game in Unreal Engine 5 right now, although it's understandable very early in production. It's crucially a single-player game, which builds upon years of experience from various developers on the two Star Wars Jedi games at Respawn.
