2K Games is still developing its upcoming free-to-play shooter, currently known as Project Ethos, despite being relatively quiet about it. The project hasn’t been cancelled and remains in active development.
Hey everyone, just heard some news from 2K. Apparently, they’ve brought in Ben Brinkman to run 31st Union, the studio behind some of the stuff I play. It’s a bit of a change-up since Michael Condrey, who used to be a big shot at Call of Duty, left the studio earlier this year. Hopefully, this is a good thing for the games they’re making!
In a message to the team, Ismailer shared that the feedback from the Project Ethos test last fall was very helpful. He explained that it confirmed the potential of the game as a roguelike shooter, but also highlighted areas needing improvement, particularly the need to establish a stronger, more unique identity for the project.
The executive expressed confidence that the updated plan for Project Ethos will finally meet players’ expectations.
He went on: “Our confidence in Project Ethos grows every day.”
I’m really excited about this news! Apparently, Brinkman is a huge name in the shooter world. He was the executive producer for Apex Legends at Respawn for five years, and before that, he spent over a decade working on the Call of Duty series at Activision. What’s cool is he’s actually coming back to 2K – he was a producer there way back from 2006 to 2008, so it feels like a homecoming!
I just read TopMob’s first look at Project Ethos, and they said it’s really interesting and fresh, but they also felt like it wasn’t quite sure what it wanted to be yet. They’re talking about a ‘new vision’ for the game, but honestly, we still have no idea what that actually *is*. And 2K hasn’t said when they’ll give us another update or show us more gameplay, so we’re all just waiting to see what happens!
In February, it was reported that Project Ethos would have to “pivot or be killed.”
Brinkman’s appointment and a fresh direction for Project Ethos follow closely after EA announced it was being acquired by a group of investors led by Saudi Arabia in a $55 billion deal.
