Description
NuChallenger is an independent games and culture studio founded in 2012 by industry veteran Shawn Alexander Allen. NuChallenger was founded to create a studio that wasn't just another static studio, but rather a dynamic studio that could grow and work with new collaborators from project to project. Before going independent Shawn headed up the game capture team for Rockstar Games, working on industry defining games, and trailers with millions of views.
History
HistoryAs the first big game from NuChallenger which took almost a decade to develop, Treachery in Beatdown City came out into the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic and civil unrest of 2020 to be hailed as "The most relevant, antiracist game of 2020" by the LA Times. Treachery in Beatdown City also got big nods from PASTE as #14 on their top 40 games of 2020. Now, 3 years late, Treachery in Beatdown City is getting a huge update.
