- The game comes from Motive Studio, which previously developed Star Wars: Squadrons.
- Development of this new game is being led by Olivier Proulx, who has experience with Marvel games like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
- He is joined by veterans of the industry like Ian Frazier, Maëlenn Lumineau, and JF Poirier.
