The creators behind Bossfight Entertainment have launched a new independent gaming studio, retaining the Bossfight moniker.

Although Squid Game: Unleashed, launched in December 2024, performed well, Netflix closed Bossfight Entertainment in October 2025. The acquisition of the studio took place in 2022 by the streaming company.

Located in Dallas, Texas, the studio's leadership includes CEO David Rippy, chief product officer Bill Jackson, and COO Scott Winsett. They are currently developing an undisclosed game for PC and mobile devices.

Rippy stated, "This is about bringing back the team that built Bossfight. We've created and scaled games side-by-side for well over a decade. Reuniting that leadership team under the Bossfight name — and returning to the principles that have guided us from the beginning — is something we're incredibly excited about."

Winsett mentioned, "We intend to maintain a small, lean core team focused on creativity and execution, while leveraging trusted partners to help us scale team size as needed. That model allows us to stay agile while building games with the production quality players expect."

Earlier this year, a collective of former Bossfight Entertainment developers came together to establish Sunwise Games. This new developer is described as an "independent PC game studio focused on building systems-driven games with long-term depth, clear progression, and respectful monetisation."

The Sunwise Games team includes 26 former Bossfight staff, plus new members, bringing the total to 30 employees.
