The new studio has full access to Activision’s resources and tools as it continues to increase production and development. Elsewhere is opening its search for best-in-class talent from across the industry and around the world to help create a state-of-the-art and next generation gaming experience.

Folks over Windows Central reached out to Activision to understand more about the new studio. In response, a spokesperson said Elsewhere Entertainment is working on a narrative-based “AAA” game, and is a completely new franchise, reports Windows Central.

That said, there’s no mention of when will Elsewhere reveal its debut project. However, Activision is looking to grow its team by opening vacancies.
