With Space Punks, we continue that tradition of ours, and we are delighted to announce this new addition to our portfolio of explosive games. Michal Szustak, Flying Wild Hog CEO & co-founder, added: “We’ve been making explosive, fast-paced action games for more than 12 years.
We very much look forward to using the skills and experience in building huge communities gained over 20 years of developing the RuneScape franchise to support Space Punks and future games to come under the Jagex Partners umbrella.” He said the following via a press release: “Space Punks perfectly embodies our living games philosophy by providing players with a deep, social and ever – evolving multiplayer experience. Phil Mansell, Jagex CEO, is just as excited. He added: “We’re working together, it’s been super good co-operation, especially when it comes to know-how and learning from one another, it’s super good.” Space Punksīartłomiej Schweiger (Bartek for short), Space Punks’ Design Lead, spoke about the collaboration in an interview, stating that the development has been moving “super smoothly”, despite the events of COVID. Jagex themselves even noted that they are excited about the idea of forging a lasting partnership. You know how the loot game works, and Space Punks is no different, but this new attempt might just be cut from a different cloth, as FWH have partnered with Jagex, leveraging their long-term success on Runescape to try and create a game with a real long-term legacy.ĭuring a behind closed doors press event, it was noted by the development team that there was a hungry ambition from Flying Wild Hog to learn more about the gaming industry to then expand into the multiplayer space, which is why the two began to collaborate. Launching into early access exclusively on the Epic Games Store on July 14th, Space Punks sees teams of up to four players complete levels and earn killer loot, so that they can take on harder levels, earn more loot and so on. The team responsible for the recent Shadow Warrior reboots, Flying Wild Hog have grown in size exponentially over the past few years with a few games lurking on the horizon, but it might be Space Punks that catches most off guard. The looter shooter genre has exploded in popularity recently, but if any developer is going to create a version that’s more bombastic and explosion heavy than the rest, it’s Flying Wild Hog.
