The then-ten-year-old studio joined Netflix&#8217;s in-house development team until Netflix shut it down in October 2025 despite the success of Squid Game: Unleashed, which, according to former lead game engineer Irin Berry, &#8220;topped charts globally and reached tens of millions of players worldwide in its first months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, via a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7413957465161207808\/\">LinkedIn post<\/a>, CEO and co-founder Berry announced Sunwise, calling the new venture an &#8220;independent PC game studio focused on building systems-driven games with long-term depth, clear progression, and respectful monetization.&#8221; Described as &#8220;intentionally small, senior-led, and structured for sustainability rather than rapid scale,&#8221; the team hopes to announce its first &#8220;PC-first&#8221; title soon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A core group of us had already built and shipped multiple complex games together, including our title that reached #1 across dozens of countries and scaled to a truly global audience. We trusted one another, understood how to collaborate at scale, and knew that kind of team cohesion is rare,&#8221; Berry wrote.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of scattering, 26 of us chose to stay together and keep building. That decision became Sunwise Games. Today, Sunwise is a team of 30 developers, including the 26 original Boss Fight team members, joined by additional talent chosen intentionally for their craft, creativity, and shared values. This is a senior team with deep experience shipping, operating, and supporting games at scale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The post closed by stating that Sunwise &#8220;represents the future we want to build in this industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.gamesindustry.biz \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of former Boss Fight Entertainment developers have banded together to form Sunwise Games.
