Arctic7 will open a new studio in Barcelona to accelerate its internal development plans.
The Texas-based company said the new opening will expand its full-game development and co-development capabilities, while also enabling it to spend more time developing its own IP.
The news comes just two years after Arctic7 opened its doors, and means the company will soon have five studios operating under its banner across Texas, Canada, Eugene, Montenegro, and Barcelona.
Kedhrin Gonzalez, studio head of Arctic7 Montenegro, will also be tasked with leading Arctic7 Barcelona, including work on the company's debut project.
The unnamed title is billed as a "post-civilization, third-person action adventure." It's being built in Unreal Engine 5 and will apparently focus on "deep exploration, emotional narrative, and a sophisticated and evolving combat system."
Gonzalez said that while Arctic7 will continue to focus on building co-development partnerships, the chance to work on a project of its own will enable its dev teams to expand their skills.
"This project is a direct result of that passion and draws on the teams’ experience working on some of the world’s leading games such as Halo, Rainbow Six, and more," he added.

When you think of city builders over the last decade, there’s only one name that still comes to mind: Cities: Skylines. The breakout success for Colossal Order and (at the time) the biggest game launch Paradox Interactive had ever seen, it’s effectively came to represent the entire genre, as other city builder franchises faded away. Having gone hands on with the game, Cities: Skylines 2 looks set to repeat the feat and cement itself at the top of the genre.

After multiple delays, Payday 3 finally arrives this month, but if you just can’t wait to get your hands on the game, a free open beta is being held this weekend. The Payday 3 Technical Open Beta won’t require you to have pre-ordered the game – anybody on Steam or Xbox Series X/S can jump in (PS5 is excluded for whatever reason). Starbreeze does warn the beta build is from a few months back, so it doesn’t necessarily represent the final state of the game – the beta is more about testing the capacity of the Payday 3 servers.
