Jonathan Dur will head the Foxbear Games studio in Los Angeles. Mobile game company Wildlife Studios established its third independent studio, Foxbear Games, in Los Angeles. Jonathan Durr, best known as the director of the Marvel Strike Force games, will helm the studio.
Wildlife offers unprecedented opportunities with the systems they have developed, Dur said. “Foxbear Games will initially focus on attracting a diverse audience within the RPG genre while creating a truly immersive experience that gamers will love every day for years to come. We look forward to partnering with Wildlife and are ready to work with their team to bring our ideas to life.
