Harvey Smith launches Black Pony Immersive, betting on nimble immersive sims

Veteran designer Harvey Smith (Deus Ex, Dishonored) has launched Black Pony Immersive with Ben Horne after Arkane Austin’s 2024 closure, aiming to build immersive-sim games with minimal top-down interference in a tough funding climate. The 26-person US-based studio, with remote contractors, seeks to reunite Arkane collaborators and indie talent to create narrative-rich, single-player experiences while prioritizing staff benefits and independence over fast, external funding.

Redfall's Undead: Inspired by Real-Life Bloodsuckers, Says Harvey Smith.

Redfall, the upcoming game from Arkane Studios, pits players against vampires born from the capitalistic vampirism of Aveum Therapeutics, a Big Pharma corp left to experiment unchecked. The game's creator, Harvey Smith, says the thematics are that the richest 0.1% are already vampires, and in this game, they literally become vampires. The game reflects the reality in which it was made, during a tumultuous time in world events which saw great changes in US and UK politics, as well as numerous cases of rich megacorps taking advantage of people.
