Returnal director Harry Krueger played a major role in shaping the game and other projects before departing the studio in 2023. Now, the developer has established a brand new studio under the name Cosmic Division and is working on a new single-player IP.
Why it matters: The developer was part of Housemarque for well over a decade, gaining experience with beloved gameplay-centric titles like Returnal, Resogun, and the early parts of Saros.
Cosmic Division announced its first major project in an official statement. The studio has promised that its first project will offer an unapologetically gameplay-first experience while also providing a story with a strong emotional resonance.
As the CEO of Cosmic Division, Harry Krueger now seeks to build on his experience from Housemarque. At the same time, the team is looking for investment and talent as it embarks on this journey.
Not much else is known about the new IP for now, but it will launch on both PC and consoles. Moreover, the team plans to incorporate fresh ideas and themes into the experience to create something truly unique.
As for Housemarque, the studio will likely begin working on a new project of its own soon. With Saros now out in the wild, there is a lot of excitement among fans curious to know where the team will go next.
