Studio Ricochet established by former Gearbox Studio Quebec leadership

Studio Ricochet, a new independent game studio headquartered in Quebec, has announced its establishment. It is led by the core leadership team that built Gearbox Studio Quebec, with the goal of creating original, premium games. It is currently developing an original cooperative action adventure game for console and PC.

The studio’s founders include Sebastien Caisse and Pierre-Andre Dery, former studio heads at Gearbox Studio Quebec, alongside former Borderlands creative director Maxime Babin and former Gearbox Studio Quebec director of creative development Yanick Piche. Veteran developers from Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, and other major franchises are also part of the leadership team.

“After years of building within large organizations, we wanted to create a studio that moves faster, stays focused, and takes creative risks,” said Studio Ricochet co-founder Pierre-Andrew Dery said in a press release.

Co-founder Sebastien Caisse added, “We’ve assembled a team that knows how to deliver at scale—and we’re deliberately starting lean. Weʼll prove the vision first, then grow around it.”
