Atlas & Grapeshot Games

[Wikumos]

Does anyone know if the new Grapeshot Games company created for Atlas, is also owned by Snail Games like Wildcard is now?

I'm just really curious why they would have to make a new game company for this game, and since all the team members from Wildcard, why not just release this game as a Wildcard game?

Just another dev team like all developers have for separate games

Literally nothing new

I tried to find some information on Grapeshot Games but couldnt. Imo it could be something shady but it also could be to differentiate the teams for both games. Grape = Atlas, WC = ARK.

The Argument that it is to avoid bad reptuation is extremely flawed. Their core marketing plan revolves around ARK, ARK is one of the most succesful survival games out there. Literally every article mentions WC and ARK.

Think of it like how EA has EASports, DICE, Bioware. All are EA but responsible for different things.

I think this is the main reason for it.

There is a dev post somewhere saying two lead Ark devs came over to grapeshot, with some of the original ARK team and a bunch of new hires to make Atlas. So its like probably half ARK, half new hires led by ARK devs.
