The company is preparing multiple titles for launch, including Ghostopia, a multiplayer RPG set in a haunted world where players build and decorate haunted mansions. Supersocial operates Supersocial Labs, a division that recruits and employs aspiring Roblox developers, providing capital, operating expertise, support and infrastructure to accelerate game development. The team includes founders Yonatan Raz-Fridman (CEO) and Pedro Romi (CFO) and co-founders Luiza Justus and Tatiana Wlasek, and the company has hired industry leaders from Nintendo, Big Fish Games, and DreamWorks. Supersocial says the Labs model enables rapid development cycles and multiple releases in the near future.
