Blue Scarab Entertainment, a new game studio in Stockholm, is developing its first MMORPG game, described as a “cozy horse-riding game.” The company has raised over $7 million in seed funding, with support from industry giants like NetEase Inc and Behold Ventures, as well as influential figures in the industry.

Led by CEO Colin Cragg and CTO Enno Rehling, both with over 40 years of combined experience in the MMORPG space, the team is passionate about MMOs. The game, built in Unreal Engine 5, blends cozy exploration with a dark, mysterious story, and is looking for playtesters to experience the game.

The multiplayer MMORPG game will involve horseback exploration in an open world, unraveling a true-crime mystery together. The studio aims to create a fresh experience for a diverse community, defying genre expectations and integrating the team’s expertise in the MMORPG space.
