Abram as a film and television company, with Bad Robot Games formed in 2018 as a spinoff venture formed alongside Tencent to specialise in video game development across PC, mobile and consoles. Sweet took over as CEO in 2020, with Booth joining the team the same year and later going on to serve as chief creative officer by February 2022.
Further details on Bad Robot Games’ in-development project have yet to be announced.
