HISTORY:
FORMATION
In the wake of EA's divestment in mobile games and closure of studios, including Alex Seropian's (Halo, Stubbs the Zombie) studio, Industrial Toys, Alex began a search for what was next. In the classic adventure sense, he started his new adventure by choosing to "Look North". Against serious games industry adversity, he set out to find prosperous ground to explore creatively for new emerging platforms. The answer came in the form of Epic announcing Unreal for Fortnite, along with a creator payment pool to incentivize serious development within Fortnite.
The prospect of releasing new games every 2-3 months, with experimental gameplay, and a massive audience, was too much of an opportunity to pass up. Look North World was born.
