Gavin Raeburn, formerly of Forza Horizon<\/a> studio Playground Games, announced his new studio today. Called Lighthouse Games, the studio is based in Leamington Spa, UK and is already at work on a new, unannounced game.<\/p>\n

Lighthouse Games currently has 30 employees, many of them veteran games industry members, according to Raeburn, including former Playground employees. It\u2019s also hiring for new talent. Though it\u2019s not currently letting out any details about the game it\u2019s working on, it\u2019s evidently a triple-A title that Lighthouse will build out into a new franchise.<\/p>\n

Raeburn said in a statement, \u201cI\u2019m delighted that 30 former colleagues and other industry heavyweights have chosen to join me at Lighthouse. With Horizon, Playground and I created one of the most successful Xbox franchises of all time. We delivered significant commercial success year after year, to massive critical acclaim, following the success from my time at Codemasters leading Dirt, Grid and F1. That DNA is now at Lighthouse, and with it, we intend to build something truly special using all our experience to create a new genre-defining franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Gamesindustry.biz<\/a>, Lighthouse Games isn\u2019t seeking investment at the moment, but rather to partner with a publisher with a \u201clonger-term view of the market.\u201d It\u2019s also investing in its own tools and infrastructure to build its new games. This marks the second studio from former Forza developers who\u2019ve opened new ventures in Leamington Spa in 2023, the first being Maverick Games<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n
