We Are Methodical
Introducing Methodical Games!
We’re a newly formed team of nine (and growing) industry veterans who have built some of the most successful game franchises including Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty during our time at Epic Games, Respawn Entertainment, and Infinity Ward. Most of us have been making games for over two decades, and during that time we’ve experienced failure and success at the highest levels. From that experience, we’re building a studio modeled on patterns that we’ve seen lead to success; a small talented team, direct cross-discipline collaboration, quick iteration, and developer-driven processes. As our name suggests, we pride ourselves on a detail oriented approach to game development with a focus on meticulously crafted gameplay. You could even call it an obsession.
Despite what our past experience might imply, our first game is not a multiplayer shooter. We’re excited to apply what we’ve learned making shooters to new genres. Our first original IP is in the early stages of pre-production. It’s a multiplayer action adventure game with an emphasis on close-quarters combat set in a fantastical world where players embark on memorable adventures with their friends.
To build great games we need an equally great culture. We feel strongly about creating an inclusive environment where everyone is free to be themselves. Our goal is to foster a haven for developers where they are encouraged to push the bounds of their craft and collaborate directly with other creative minds. We want to empower the team to make good decisions for the game and to do their best work. To achieve that we intend to keep the team lean with a high talent density. We’re all hands-on contributors and we believe in leading by example.
Building a new IP takes a considerable amount of collaboration and problem solving that feels most natural when face to face. It’s hard to ignore the magic that takes place when passing around a controller or whiteboard marker. But we’ve all grown accustomed to and appreciate the flexibility modern remote work can offer. To that end, we've decided on a hybrid studio approach. We have a physical office located in Raleigh, North Carolina and we also fully support remote work.
We are fortunate to have a great partner in Lightspeed Venture Partners, who led our $15 Million investment round. They believe in our vision for Methodical and are helping us achieve it by allowing us to make the best decisions for the team, the project, and the company. In addition, we’re thrilled to have BITKRAFT Ventures, 1Up Ventures, Transcend Fund, Jason West (Founder of Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment), and several angel investors join the round. We’re also grateful to be part of an amazing startup community. It's been humbling to receive advice and support from other video game startups that have been through this process.

Sincerely,
Team Methodical
