Dishonored's Harvey Smith named his new studio Black Pony Immersive so people would stop asking him to work on other genres: 'Specialising on what you love is not a bad path'
Please don't ask him to work on a third-person shooter.
Dishonored creator Harvey Smith founded a new studio, Black Pony Immersive, with former Arkane colleague Ben Horne. The studio's name makes it clear that they will focus on immersive games. Smith explains that during his time at Arkane, people often tried to get them to work on other genres, but they declined because they didn't have the skillset or interest.
The studio's decision to stay true to its roots paid off, as Arkane became known for immersive sim games. Smith emphasizes that specialising in what you love is a smart path, and Black Pony Immersive will stay true to that philosophy.
