"I've always believed in the power of games to bring people together regardless of backgrounds or boundaries. With Dreamhaven,we look forward to creating and sharing new experiences with players everywhere."

The team at Dreamhaven came together around a common goal to empower creators,help bring their ideas to life,and create original gaming experiences that foster meaningful connections between players.

"Dreamhaven has assembled some amazing people,folks who truly share our values,and we're really excited to begin this next adventure together," said Moonshot studio head Jason Chayes. "Though it's very early days,when we think about Moonshot,we imagine a studio that celebrates curiosity and courage. We aspire to be bold in our approach,and we think the best way to do that is to create a culture centered around trust. That's at the heart of how we'd like to work together and also how we'd like to connect with players once we're a bit further down the road."

Secret Door is led by Chris Sigaty,Alan Dabiri,and Eric Dodds,who've worked on multiple genre-defining games. Sigaty's roles have included Executive Producer on Hearthstone,StarCraft II,and Heroes of the Storm,as well as Lead Producer on the original Warcraft III.
