Amy Hennig is the famed writer and director responsible for the first three Uncharted games, and today Skydance Media announced a new division helmed by the industry veteran. Hennig's work stretches all the way back to a credit as an artist on Electrocop for the Atari Lynx.
Skydance Media is a production company with credits including Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, 2017's Baywatch, and Terminator: Dark Fate. In 2016, the Skydance Interactive division was opened to focus on developing video games, specifically for the VR market. To date, the studio has released a 2017 VR game titled Archangel and a 2018 shooter called PWND.
As for what types of games we can expect from the new Skydance Media division, Hennig and Beak plan on developing "new story-focused experiences – crafted as an interactive series – [that] will employ state-of-the-art computer graphics to provide the visual fidelity of television and film, but with an active, lean-in experience that puts the audience in the driver’s seat."
Two well-respected industry veterans at the helm of an ambitious young studio certainly holds promise, and we're excited to see what comes out of Skydance Media in the future.
