North Beach Games has inaugurated a new studio in Prague

In an exciting development, North Beach Games has unveiled plans for a new studio in Prague, which will focus on the creation of Stranded Deep 2.

This studio will be overseen by Chief Technology Officer and Creative Director Sam Edwards, known for his work with Beam Team Games, alongside General Manager Tomáš Pšenička, who previously contributed to Keen Software House's Space Engineers.

The primary development team will operate out of Prague, but the studio will also accommodate remote personnel from around the world, aiming to enhance its expertise in survival crafting video games.

Additionally, North Beach Games intends to bolster its publishing initiatives, collaborating with development and licensing partners such as Free Range Games and Middle-earth Enterprises, specifically for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moira.

North Beach Games CEO John Miller expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership: "We couldn't be more excited to bring Sam and Tomáš into the North Beach Games fold, heading up our new Prague development studio."

Miller noted the longstanding relationship with both leaders, stating, "We've worked with both of them for years as partners, so to all be on the same team is a great feeling and will allow us to do even more exciting work together in the survival crafting space." He concluded by mentioning the current market conditions, asserting that "the time feels right to start this next chapter of our business, carving our own path towards a positive future for our company."
