The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as a new studio, Panic Stations, emerges on the scene. Founded by former Mediatonic developers, known for their work on the wildly popular multiplayer game Fall Guys, Panic Stations announced its arrival in a quirky and humorous way. Through a playful video featuring animated pigeons, Joe Walsh, a game designer at the studio, humorously declared their mission: “Games should be funnier, and they should be stupider. Here at Panic Stations, we’re going to fix that.”
Panic Stations’ Debut Game
The new studio is already hard at work on their first game, which, as clarified on their website, is “not about pigeons.” During an interview with industry insiders, co-founder Paul Croft expressed his enthusiasm for online co-op games. He shared, “I’m a huge fan of the online co-op space and it’s been amazing to see it evolve over the last few years. It is really exciting to team-up with some old friends – we’re aiming to build games that bring immediate joy to players and bring people closer together.”
With the current surge in popularity of cooperative games, Panic Stations aims to deliver a unique experience that promises laughter and camaraderie, much like their previous success with Fall Guys.
The Future Ahead
The gaming community eagerly awaits what Panic Stations has in store, given their impressive background and innovative approach. With the unexpected but monumental success of Fall Guys, anticipation is high for their upcoming project. The cooperative gaming landscape continues to flourish, and Panic Stations is poised to contribute something truly special to the genre.
