Our take
Founded in 2022, The Believer Company is a new game development studio looking to create the "next-generation open-world game". While the company may be new to the scene, its founding team certainly isn't, composed of former Riot Games veterans looking to take on a new adventure.
With new and exciting technology being brought forward to the gaming world over the last few years, Believer is putting an emphasis on the player. With a goal to develop technology and gameplay that is explicitly for the betterment of the player to create a game they will love and enjoy for many years to come.
Although the studio is yet to announce its first game, it has already secured a great deal of funding, which includes backing from industry giant, Riot Games. The company plans to build a world-class, remote-first team to deliver on its mission to take gameplay to the next level.
