It’s been only a few months since Ubisoft Milan and Mario + Rabbids director Davide Soliani left the company to pursue something new, and now he’s announced a new studio alongside Red Dead Redemption writer and lead designer Christian Cantamessa. Day 4 Night opens its door with those two at the top, bringing several other Ubisoft Milan devs with them to begin work on something new.
The Day 4 Night studio was announced with the opening of its website this week, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz. Davide Soliani and Christan Cantamessa are the studio’s co-founders, but they are joined by Cristina Nava, Gian Marco Zanna and Luca Breda, who also worked on the Mario + Rabbids games, as well as having experience from across the likes of Just Dance, Ghost Recon, and Star Wars Outlaws. The team is beginning its work with a project set in a completely new IP and will operate out of offices that are stationed in Los Angeles, California and Milan, Italy.
Soliani was more than excited to share Day 4 Night’s opening and promises something bold and beautiful out of the company’s first project:
“When I first fell in love with video games at the start of my career, I saw the power of this new medium to tell stories never told before and create worlds that could transform people,” Cantamessa added. “Day 4 Night is a return to that innovative spirit, to that innocence, to that unbridled creativity.”
Mario + Rabbids were great games and Red Dead Redemption speaks for itself. With such an impeccable caliber of talent on deck, we’ll look forward to seeing what Day 4 Night offers. Stay tuned for news and announcements as they drop, right here at Shacknews.
