this is a new challenger on a tricolor stage. Not least, ZeDrimTim was born out of four signature associations of the hexagonal video game and animated film industries. There we found in particular Romuald Capron, former director of Arkane Lyon (Shame, Deathloop) studio, who will serve as executive producer, and Cédric Lagarrrigue, founder of Focus Home Interactive (who resigned in 2018). The studio’s director, Mika Tanguy, is a veteran of special effects theaters, while its president, Gilles Aujard, has worked in animation for years.

Their first work, Darwin’s paradoxwill be a platform and adventure game developed under Unreal Engine 5, designed in the spirit of Playdead (Inside) and Tarsier (Little Nightmares) games, with an aesthetic aimed at modern animation influenced by 50s SF movies and 3D technology.
