Paramount Skydance Announces Paramount Games Studio

June 5, 2026 - 22:44

Paramount Skydance has announced the formation of Paramount Games Studio, a new entity created by merging two of its existing game development teams. The consolidation brings together Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media under a single roof. The move is intended to streamline operations and create a more focused approach to making video games based on the company's intellectual property.

Skydance Interactive was known for its work in virtual reality, including titles like "The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners." Skydance New Media, led by industry veteran Amy Hennig, has been developing a narrative-driven game set in the Marvel universe, specifically focusing on Captain America and Black Panther. By combining these teams, the new studio aims to leverage their respective strengths in immersive technology and story-driven experiences.

The newly formed Paramount Games Studio will operate under the leadership of former Skydance Interactive head Chris Scholz. The studio's mission is to develop high-quality games that tie directly into Paramount's broader entertainment ecosystem, which includes film, television, and streaming. This restructuring signals a deeper commitment to interactive entertainment as a core part of the company's strategy, moving beyond licensing its properties to outside developers. No specific game titles or release dates were announced alongside the studio's formation, but the company indicated that projects already in development will continue under the new banner.
