Dream Haven Unveils 'Thunder Fog' Tactical RPG

Dream Haven has officially revealed its debut project, 'Thunder Fog,' amidst a renewed interest in cooperative RPGs. Founded by veterans of Blizzard, including Mike Morhaime, the studio aims to create high-quality gaming experiences that are accessible to a wider audience. 'Thunder Fog' is set to launch in 2025 and is designed as a couch co-op tactical RPG adventure. The game integrates both personal and shared screens, enabling players to engage without the hard learning curve typically associated with tabletop RPGs. This innovative design seeks to eliminate barriers to entry and streamline gameplay, allowing players to focus on enjoyment rather than complex rule systems. Morhaime noted the extensive refinement process of game development, highlighting the challenges of innovation and the importance of iterative design. The studio prioritizes collaboration and fresh perspectives to understand player experiences better. In a rapidly evolving industry marked by significant shifts such as Activision's acquisition by Microsoft, the aim is to differentiate from the competition while fostering a creative and autonomous work environment for developers. As Morhaime emphasizes, the mission is fundamentally about bringing people together through high-quality gaming experiences.
