Arctic7 is a newly announced games development studio formed by former key players from Sony, Microsoft, EA and other leading gaming companies. The 11‑person outfit operates out of Austin, Texas and is led by Igor Efremov, Mark Rizzo, and Alan Van Slyke. The studio’s stated focus is on quality, technical excellence, and creative output as it develops a yet‑unannounced RPG title. Founders and team members bring credits on projects including Gears of War, FIFA, The Sims, Need for Speed and more. Arctic7 closed seed funding to support its AAA vision and initial development efforts. The company says the initial funding exceeded expectations and provides a launchpad to realize its ambitions and establish itself as a first‑class developer.
