The original founders of Bossfight Entertainment have established an independent studio operating under the Bossfight name.
Bossfight Entertainment was shuttered by Netflix in October 2025 despite the success of Squid Game: Unleashed, which launched in December 2024. The streaming giant originally acquired the studio in 2022.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the studio is led by CEO David Rippy, chief product officer Bill Jackson, and COO Scott Winsett. The team is working on an unannounced title for PC and mobile platforms.
“This is about bringing back the team that built Bossfight,” said Rippy. “We’ve created and scaled games side-by-side for well over a decade. Reuniting that leadership team under the Bossfight name — and returning to the principles that have guided us from the beginning — is something we’re incredibly excited about.”
Winsett added: “We intend to maintain a small, lean core team focused on creativity and execution, while leveraging trusted partners to help us scale team size as needed. That model allows us to stay agile while building games with the production quality players expect.”
At the beginning of the year, a group of former Boss Fight Entertainment developers formed Sunwise Games. The developer is an “independent PC game studio focused on building systems-driven games with long-term depth, clear progression, and respectful monetisation.”
Sunwise Games comprises 26 developers from the original Bossfight, joined by additional talent, for a total team of 30 employees.
