The team was to be approached by several publishers, but Tencent came up with an offer that best “aligned with Lighthouse Games’ vision”. “This is a fresh start that allows us to build a game from the ground up without using legacy technology. The chains are falling. It’s a really liberating feeling,” Raeburn explains.
The developers are very ambitious. They are working on a AAA game that they say will define the genre. We do not know anything more about her yet, even considering the recent start of her studies.
