Marauder Tech a new studio from ex-NFLer, ex-Activision producer

Marauder is aiming for double-A releases.

Marauder Tech is a new studio aiming for double-A releases and established by an ex-NFL football player and an ex-Activision producer.

The remote studio has former NFL player Morgan Kane and ex-Call of Duty senior producer Joel Balyeat as part of of its leadership team. Its first title will be a turn-based mobile strategy game “with a unique twist”.

“As Kane’s first venture into the games industry, the self-funded studio is backed by his extensive business portfolio and curated executive officers,” reads a press release from the studio.

“Marauder started as an idea more than a decade ago,” said Kane. “I’ve always enjoyed strategy games, but at the time, I didn’t have the resources available to start a game studio. In April of 2023, I decided to hire my first developer, and now, more than a year later, we’re ready to start slowly lifting the veil of what we’ve been working on for the past year and a half.

“Our goal with Marauder’s maiden title is to provide a unique take on the turn-based genre. Turn-based strategy games typically take quite a while to finish, and not everyone has time to sit behind their screen for multiple hours to finish a game. The focus on our first title is that players can play it when and wherever they want without feeling extreme time constraints for their moves.”

Marauder’s first mobile title is expected later this year.
