Soft Rains, a new independent game studio, has been announced, founded by industry veterans from both AAA and indie studios such as Bethesda Game Studios, Ubisoft Toronto, Capybara Games, Riot, and more. The studio is currently working on an unannounced sci-fi first-person adventure game that puts a modern spin on the genre.

The studio's co-founders include Joel Burgess as studio head, Matt Scott as game director, Jules Glegg as technical director, Kaitlin Tremblay as narrative director, and Daryl Brigner as world director. The team has previously worked on major titles like Skyrim, Fallout 4, VALORANT, and acclaimed indie games like A Mortician’s Tale and Grindstone.

Soft Rains aims to create bold, character-driven games with emotional depth and long-lasting impact. The studio is inspired by science fiction stories that challenge and inspire them, using speculative elements to explore themes like identity, memory, and building a future together. The team has been working on their debut title in Unreal Engine 5 since late 2022, reimagining familiar gameplay frameworks with fresh mechanics and themes.

Soft Rains is committed to crafting immersive worlds, emotionally resonant stories, and memorable gameplay experiences. The studio believes that great games come from collaboration, curiosity, and a shared desire to grow. For more information, visit the Soft Rains official website.
