Spec Ops: The Line lead teams up with Nine Inch Nails guitarist for new game studio

Spec Ops: The Line creative director and designer Cory Davis and Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck announced today that they are teaming up to form a new game studio, Eyes Out.

Based in San Francisco, Eyes Out’s first project is “a single-player immersive cosmic horror game with strong environmental storytelling elements.”

2012’s Spec Ops: The Line received praise from players and critics for its strong, war-based narrative. Davis also worked on the Condemned and F.E.A.R. series.

Finck, a 2020 member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has done some composing for games, including 2019’s Observation.
