Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer “State of Survival” and “King of Avalon” maker FunPlus has opened Studio Ellipsis in Lisbon, a new creative hub focused on expanding the indie gaming company’s IP across entertainment platforms.
Led by FunPlus’ Alexandre Amancio, head of studio and senior vice president and head of world building and IP strategy, Studio Ellipsis’s ambition is described as creating “entertainment experiences that cater to the evolving expectations of modern audiences.” The first project from Studio Ellipsis is FunPlus’ “Sea of Conquest: Cradle of the Gods,” a comic series based on strategy game “Sea of Conquest: Pirate War.” Per FunPlus, “Through a combination of cross-platform game development and transmedia storytelling, the studio will bring FunPlus’s IP to life in new ways, inviting fans to explore fresh lore, characters, and stories.
In the coming months, the studio will unveil additional projects that expand FunPlus’ portfolio of worlds, as well as original IPs designed for cross-medium development.” Amancio, who joined FunPlus in August 2023 after founding Montreal-based game studio Reflector Entertainment and servings as creative director on Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed” franchise, will oversee the team as they branch out from mobile-first games into PC and console-focused titles and focus on transmedia storytelling across platforms. “FunPlus has made cross-platform games, but they were mobile-first and free-to-play games Studio Ellipsis was built to expand the horizons on that,” Amancio told Variety.
