June 5, 2026| David Ellison has been moving pieces around the board in reshaping the new Paramount Skydance over the past year. But one key division remained out of play in his master media plan — until now.
On Friday, Paramount Skydance unveiled Paramount Games Studio, a unified gaming studio that combines Skydance’s two existing game studios, Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media, with Paramount’s intellectual property, as Paramount’s gaming business has largely consisted of licensing IP to third parties.
Variety has confirmed that both of Skydance New Media’s in development projects, “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” and an untitled Star Wars game made in collaboration with Lucasfilm, are still in the works. As for its new slate, Paramount Games Studio will make the announcement of its first game, a AAA title, during Summer Game Fest at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Friday.
