Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon creator starts new studio

Dean Evans, the game designer who was given the space by Ubisoft a few years ago to create the colorful Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, has started the new studio Beans with another Ubisoft veteran. Their first game appears at Devolver.

Evans start the studio together with Gabriela Salvatore. She spent four years with Ubisoft, where she worked as a game designer on Far Cry 5 and Far Cry: Primal, contributed to the motion capture of For Honor and was involved as a story consultant on Starlink: Battle for Atlus. Evans spent 12 years working for Ubisoft on a whole series of games. He is best known as the creator of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, which was released in 2013. It was very remarkable at the time that Ubisoft gave Evans the opportunity to make such a colorful spin-off. Salvatore left Ubisoft in 2016 and then worked for Creative Assembly for a few years, Evans left the French publisher in 2018.

Salvatore and Evans are beans started, a studio that for now only consists of the two founders. However, they want to expand the team with seven employees to make their first game. That first game, about which nothing is known yet, will be marketed by Devolver Digital. Evans already announced in 2018, after leaving Ubisoft, that he would like to start a small studio. He then left record: “A lot of people complain about the aaa industry and the lack of risk taking there. I’d be a huge hypocrite if I sat there and didn’t take any risks. So fuck it, I think I’ll have my own studio and see where that leads.” It is unknown when Beans will release anything about his first game.
