18.01.2024 - 09:59 / gamerant.com / Rocksteady Studios
Rocksteady Studios co-founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have reportedly opened a new gaming studio. The initial reporting comes from online postings through a website that lists the former Rocksteady Studios founders' new studio. While no announcement has been made, the studio is called Hundred Star Games.
Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker are best known for founding Rocksteady Studios in 2004, with a headquarters in London, England. The studio's first game was Urban Chaos: Riot Response in 2006 before moving on to the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham series. Under Rocksteady's development team, the series generated four unique Arkham titles. Now, the studio is working on the new Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League title, with additional work being conducted by Sumo Digital. However, Hill and Walker left Rocksteady in 2022, two years after the initial announcement of the Suicide Squad game.
While Rocksteady works on launching its Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League title, Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have established their studio, Hundred Star Games Limited. Polygon reported its findings when it discovered the new studio through Endole, a business intelligence website. Hill and Walker have been listed as directors and business executives. Hundred Star Games was incorporated in February 2023, but no other vital information exists except for a dissolved connection with Stylus Games.
Furthermore, Hundred Star Games was last updated in December 2023 on the Great Place to Work website. It's here that readers can better understand what the studio is about. With a company comprising 25 employees with a plan to have 100 gaming industry developers down the line, Hundred Star Games is a start-up based in East London. According to the company overview, the studio aims to craft «cutting-edge gaming experiences that inspire and captivate players worldwide.»
Moreover, there is also a Hundred Star Games LinkedIn account with very little information on display. Basic details such as the year the studio was founded, its company size, the industry type, and the official Hundred Star Games website have all been specified, though the rest remains blank.
While not much is known about the projects that Hundred Star Games could work on, interested fans can check out the studio's official website to apply for a membership. The membership is a golden tab that opens up two prompts: jobs and info. Clicking on either one will trigger an email response that fans can fill out, though information is relatively scarce. It's unclear what projects the new studio could work on since it hasn't made any official announcements. Regardless, it's exciting to see that Hill and Walker are busy at work with Hundred Star Games after leaving

Former Rocksteady Studios Founders Have Created New Game Dev
One of the hardest things for gamers to see is a studio that was once on “top of the world” slowly falling apart and becoming a shell of its former self. We’re seeing this happening all over the place nowadays, with companies failing to capitalize on what’s important within the industry, layoffs happening due to “poor sales,” or even “overinvestments,” and so on. But the biggest one that has affected many studios is that they haven’t been able to make quality games like they used to, and Rocksteady Studios is the newest one to do that, which is where our story starts.
