JOSH HOLMES RESURFACES AFTER LEAVING HALO BEHIND AND ESTABLISHING A BRAND NEW STUDIO, MIDWINTER GAMES
You left 343 Industries back in 2016; what’s been going on, Josh?
I’ve been pretty stealth for the last year, haven’t I? I’ve been hunkered down in a little group…
Midwinter Games established in late 2016! How has it been?
There were four of us – three of us came from the Halo team at 343. Throughout the course of 2017 we have been working on the concept for Scavengers and building the team out; now we are about 17 people and I hope we can peak it out around 25. We are trying to build a small tight-knit group of developers that are all passionate about the game that we are building.
Talk to us about Scavengers… what’s the deal?
Okay, so Scavengers is a multiplayer, session based game in which players compete to explore, loot, level up and escape a frozen, winterised world. It’s set in the not-so-distant future where a cataclysmic event has plunged the world into a new ice age.

Something To Remember - Forgotton Anne
When it comes to detailing the virtues of games, the term ‘cinematic’ is bandied around so often that its significance is all but lost. However, there are few games as deserving of the accolade as Forgotton Anne.
