Skydance Games

Skydance Games is the interactive entertainment and game-development division operating under Paramount, a Skydance Corporation. It brings together Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media, spanning premium virtual-reality experiences, cinematic real-time storytelling, and narrative-driven action-adventure games for console and PC.

The division originated in 2016 when Skydance Media acquired The Workshop Entertainment and established Skydance Interactive. The team developed a VR-focused catalogue that includes Archangel, Archangel: Hellfire, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, its sequel The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution, and Skydance's BEHEMOTH. Its work combines performance-driven storytelling with physics-based combat and immersive interaction designed for VR hardware.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, made with Skybound Entertainment, became a major release for the studio, followed by the 2022 Retribution sequel. Skydance's BEHEMOTH expanded the division's VR portfolio with close-quarters melee combat and large-scale creature encounters for PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and PC VR.

Narrative games and interactive IP

Skydance New Media, formed in 2019, develops AAA action-adventure games for consoles and PC. Its projects include Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an original Star Wars action-adventure game being developed with Lucasfilm Games. The label focuses on cinematic narrative design, performance capture, Unreal Engine 5 development, and photorealistic real-time rendering.
