The studio's first game will be Outlaw Corral, a Wild West inspired shooter, will be available on Unreal Engine for Fortnite. Look North World said it is the first of several games being developed.
"Developing in UEFN opens a whole new world of opportunities, and we are in uncharted territory. Through experimentation, we will see what the players like and involve them in decisions, said Seropian.
"We are jumping into it with a 'the virtual sky is the limit' mentality. As we develop creative ideas, we will learn how these platforms engage, entertain and boost social interactions in order to iterate accordingly."
