Former Mario + Rabbids director Davide Soliani has started a brand new studio with Red Dead Redemption design lead Christian Cantamessa and other Ubisoft alums. The studio, called Day 4 Night, is working on a new IP co-directed by Soliani and Cantamessa. The team secured initial funding from Korean publisher Crafton and Ed Freese’s 1Up Ventures.
