T-Minus Zero Entertainment is officially returning after being closed by NetEase in August 2025.
According to the official announcement dated Oct. 31, 2025, a small group of veteran directors and founders have acquired the T-Minus Zero Entertainment name.
The announcement says that the relaunched studio plans to carry the team’s spirit forward as an independent production company, with a refined development model and a funding approach inspired by the independent film world.
The studio will be led by newly appointed CEO Zachary Beaudoin, whose portfolio includes roles as Lead Producer/Production Director on an unannounced AAA game at Crystal Dynamics, Lead Producer on an unannounced AAA survival game at Activision Blizzard, and Lead Eldergame Producer on Dragon Age: The Veilguard at Bioware, as well as a role as World & Story Producer on Anthem in the latter company.
Original members of the team, including Mark Tucker (Fallout 76, Doom, Crimson Alliance), Jeff Dobson (Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dragon Age Inquisition), and Scott Stevens (Halo 4), except former studio head and founder Rich Vogel, are also on board of the risen-from-the-ashes entity.
T-Minus Zero Entertainment is now seeking co-financing partners for the next round of development financing in order to bring their concept to full production.
