Bossfight Entertainment has returned as simply Bossfight after its acquisition and closure by Netflix.
The studio created mobile battler Dungeon Boss before being acquired by Netflix in 2023, and later created and launched Squid Game: Unleashed, a Fall Guys-style party game based on the hit Korean Netflix show.
The studio was closed by Netflix in October 2025, leaving around 80 staff out of work. Netflix acquired Boss Fight in 2022, one of the streaming giant’s first big acquisitions which have also included Next Games, Spry Fox and Night School Studios.
The new Bossfight is led by the original studio’s founders, including CEO David Rippy, chief product officer Bill Jackson and COO Scott Winsett. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and is now independently developing an unannounced title for PC and mobile platforms “that reflects the team’s long-standing approach to building accessible, engaging games with lasting communities,” the company said.
Details on the studio’s first game are coming soon, said Bossfight, which added that it would be operating a “small, lean core team” and leaning on partners to scale when needed.
CEO David Rippy said: “This is about bringing back the team that built Bossfight. We’ve created and scaled games side-by-side for well over a decade. Reuniting that leadership team under the Bossfight name – and returning to the principles that have guided us from the beginning – is something we’re incredibly excited about.”
CPO Bill Jackson added: “We build communities through our games around a simple philosophy: create experiences that are simple, beautiful, and fun. That approach has guided us across every platform we’ve ever worked on. We’re excited to bring that philosophy back to PC – where many of us began – while continuing to build great experiences across all platforms and staying true to the values that bring players together.”
