BulletFarm, a New AAA Global Game Studio Led by Award-Winning Industry Veteran David Vonderhaar

“Starting this new studio has given me a chance to step out of my comfort zone and try my hand at making something entirely new and different. This is a departure from the games I’ve worked on, but one that showcases my passion for rich characters, precise mechanics, more intimate storytelling, and plenty of action,” said David Vonderhaar, Studio Head at BulletFarm. “NetEase has provided us an incredible support structure to explore these new avenues and allow true freedom to begin building the concept and ideas for our game.”

“NetEase Games is fully dedicated to giving BulletFarm the resources and support required to build this new first person experience,” said Simon Zhu, president of global investments and partnerships at NetEase Games. “David’s leadership and the early collection of game development talent assembled at the studio is set to offer something truly unique for his existing fans along with a new audience.”

NetEase Games proudly introduces BulletFarm, a newly established AAA game studio that is remote-first, with its headquarters in Los Angeles. BulletFarm is the latest expansion in NetEase Games' growing portfolio of creative studios, and it brings a unique creative force to the table with leadership from industry legend David Vonderhaar. Known for his pivotal role in shaping the Call of Duty: Black Ops series, Vonderhaar brings his award-winning expertise and deep understanding of multiplayer gaming to BulletFarm.

BulletFarm is on a mission to develop an ambitious new AAA title, crafted in Unreal Engine 5 and set within an original universe. With a strong emphasis on co-operative gameplay, BulletFarm is aiming to deliver an immersive, engaging experience that offers a fresh spin on first-person action. The studio’s goal is to create a game that resonates on a deeper level—crafting a more intimate, relatable experience for players while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in co-op multiplayer.

In addition to Vonderhaar’s leadership, Chris Cowell, an experienced veteran game designer, joins as the studio’s creative director. Together, they are building a studio culture that prioritizes creativity, innovation, and a bold approach to game design.

BulletFarm has embraced a remote-first approach, with the main studio located in Los Angeles but offering opportunities for talent from across the globe. The team is currently recruiting for several key positions and is committed to building a diverse and world-class team of developers and creatives. If you're interested in joining an innovative studio at the forefront of AAA game development, BulletFarm invites you to be part of their journey.
