We'll have to wait a bit longer for the console version of the game, so make sure to add it to your wishlist in the meantime!
The new studio founded by ex-BioWare devs Humanoid Origin is looking to fill multiple roles.
Last year Reptoid Games won the Ubisoft Toronto Indie Series for Fossil Hunters, which got them (amongst other things) a cash prize, and mentorship. Ubisoft posted a video going over their experience which you can check below:
Here is what Reptoid Games had to say about their experience in the 1st edition of the Ubisoft Indie Series presented by National Bank. https://toronto.ubisoft.com/indieseries/ Back for a second edition, the Ubisoft Indie Series presented by National Bank is an annual competition for independent game development studios, offering cash prizes, mentorship, and creative, marketing and financial tools to help local studios and their games reach new heights.
This year Ubisoft announced a round two of the competition, which you can check out here. We won't have to wait much longer for Fossil Hunters, which is expected to hit next year.
