Former Blizzard Co-Founder’s New Studio Reveals Co-Op Strategy Game Sunderfolk

Secret Door, a development studio under Dreamhaven, has announced its debut title Sunderfolk, a four-player cooperative tactical turn-based RPG slated for release in 2025. The game aims to streamline the traditional tabletop gaming experience while maintaining core RPG elements.

Sunderfolk will feature six distinct heroes and deck-building mechanics, with players using mobile devices to control the action on a top-down map. The game has been designed to eliminate common barriers to entry found in traditional tabletop gaming, requiring no physical setup or rulebooks, making it a more accessible alternative to traditional tabletop experiences.

In addition, studio head Chris Sigaty, a former Blizzard producer known for his work on StarCraft II and Warcraft III, explained that the game’s concept emerged from the team’s passion for tabletop gaming. “We have a bunch of dedicated board and tabletop game fanatics on the team at Secret Door — getting together for game night has been a regular highlight for many of us going back years and years,” Sigaty shared. “We’re excited to offer players a game that’s easy to pick up and play, while still challenging to master.”

Dreamhaven, established in 2020 by former Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime, oversees both Secret Door and Moonshot studios. The company has been steadily expanding its portfolio.

“The team at Secret Door, and really all of us at Dreamhaven, are all about bringing players together around fun experiences,” Morhaime stated in the official release. “Sunderfolk is a beautiful game, it’s full of personality and charm, and it also creates epic moments where everyone is engaging directly with each other to work out strategies or celebrate victories. There’s nothing quite like it.”
