Bungie is currently one of the most popular game developers. Their ongoing live service, Destiny 2, is something many people find very hard to let go of. But before this game-changing franchise, Bungie was known as the creator of Microsoft’s Halo series.

It looks like people at Bungie have a knack for creating blockbusters. Maybe that is why, when the founder of this much-lauded developer leaves his company behind, he goes on to create yet another shooter franchise. A shooter that is being made inside of another popular game!

Ex-Bungie and EA developers are creating a unique experience using the Unreal Engine for Fortnite!

Now that Fortnite is such a huge entity and Unreal Engine 5 is such a robust engine, Epic Games has done something unthinkable. They have taken their in-game level designer and given people an open reign to design different experiences inside of it. Players can then experience these games in Fortnite itself.

This is exactly what Alex Seropian, Jay Pecho, Patrick Moran, Kyle Marks, Aaron Marroquin, and Prashant Patil are currently doing. They are creating a Wild West-inspired shooter by the name of Outlaw Corral using the Unreal Engine for Fortnite.

They have named their studio Look North World. Besides this, they are also working on a bunch of other titles. A studio full of people who have come from triple-A environments is sure to do something big. It’s just a matter of time before we see yet another blockbuster coming from these excellent minds.

Talking about their first game, Alex Seropian said, “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.”

This simply means that for now, they will be working on an experience that will continuously evolve. That evolution would happen based on player feedback. Here’s hoping all these creative minds do not get trapped in this kind of game-making if they find success with Outlaw Corral.
