by

The former developers of Raid: Shadow Legends and Hitman have teamed up to form Chamo Games.

Chamo was founded in September 2023 by former IO Interactive COO Zoher Toutanji and former Plarium Creative Director Roberto Schiavulli.

Although based in Malmö, Sweden, the team, which already employs 25 developers, works remotely and includes talent from Riot Games, CD Projekt Red and Ubisoft. It is currently working on a “non-lethal FPS” for which it intends to conduct monthly playtests.

While the studio has not disclosed its funding details, the project has been backed by Lakestar, Sisu Game Ventures and Griffin Gaming Partners.

“Chamo Games is more than a studio; it's a community dedicated to creating innovative gaming experiences,” Toutanji told VentureBeat.

“We're excited to share our next project that pushes the boundaries of gaming genres.”

“We believe in creating games that prioritize player fun and team well-being. Our diverse team is united in our vision of taking PC and console gaming to new heights,” Schiavulli added.

“Our first project is an unconventional skill game, but it’s also super fun.”
