Oskari Häkkinen has announced that he's left Remedy to form his own mobile game/app studio called Futurefly.
The now former head of franchise development behind Alan Wake confirmed his departure to VentureBeat, telling the outlet that the goal of Futurefly is to provide consumers with applications that would traditionally be labeled as non-game in nature, but feature gameplay elements.
"We are on a mission to disrupt the consumer app space with games on the top of our minds," he explained. "We are designing consumer apps with playable mechanics as part of the primary input mechanism. This is a new take, and something that is better shown than talked about. Fortunately, we are well into the development of our first installment, so you won’t have to wait too long."
Quantum Break, Remedy's upcoming Xbox One exclusive, was recently delayed, and won't be available until sometime in 2016.
