Legendary Treyarch developer, David Vonderhaar, has recently announced the founding of his new global game studio, Bulletfarm. This news comes after Vonderhaar’s departure from Treyarch, where he played a pivotal role in creating some of the best Call of Duty games in history during his twenty-year tenure. Now, backed by NetEase, Vonderhaar is venturing out to create his own studio and embark on a new gaming project.
Bulletfarm, a remote-first studio, is said to be working on an ‘ambitious new AAA game set in an original universe’ with a strong emphasis on cooperative gameplay. Although details about this new game are scarce, fans are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the first Bulletfarm project.
Introducing Bulletfarm
David Vonderhaar shared his thoughts on his new venture, stating:
‘Starting this new studio has given me a chance to step out of my comfort zone and try my hand at making something entirely new and different. This project showcases my passion for rich characters, precise mechanics, intimate storytelling, and action. NetEase’s support has allowed us the freedom to explore new ideas and concepts for our game.’
NetEase, a significant Chinese conglomerate with investments across various industries, has been a key supporter of Bulletfarm’s early stages. With stakes in companies like Bungie and Quantic Dream, NetEase’s expertise in gaming and entertainment positions Bulletfarm for success.
Bulletfarm’s team boasts unique titles, with positions like ‘President of Propaganda’ for Vonderhaar and ‘Chief Bonfire Officer’ for creative director Chris Cowell. The studio is also actively recruiting for roles such as Art Director, Concept Artist, Producer, and more, all of which are remote-friendly.
