The studio has already secured funding to get it started, but is still looking to collaborate with investors and talent. “We have our feet on the ground and have solid foundations beneath us,” said Krueger. “Now our journey of cosmic wonder begins, as we venture towards the stars… and beyond.”
Based on the description of its first game project, it sounds like Cosmic Division could create something similar to what Housemarque is doing. Its rogue-like games have all taken a “gameplay-first” approach, and more recently, it’s added in the compelling story elements with Returnal and Saros. Whether Cosmic Division adopts the same rogue-like structure remains to be seen, though.
Harry Krueger had been with Housemarque as far back as 2010, earning his first credit on Dead Nation. After that, he worked on Resogun, Alienation, Matterfall, Nex Machina, Returnal, and did some early work on Saros.
