This also applies to streamers, three of whom are working together to make an entirely new game. The streamers in question are Shroud, Sacriel, and Splash Damage, who are all taking some time to start development on what they’re currently calling Project Astrid. The details surrounding the game are still unfolding themselves, but all involved seem quite excited to talk about and hopefully reveal more about it in the coming months.
