Dr. Disrespect Launches New AAA Studio With Call Of Duty, Halo Veterans

Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV, known by most as Dr. Disrespect, has launched a “AAA game studio” with former Call of Duty and Halo developers. 

Beahm is one the most well-known streamers, whether it’s the number of viewers he draws when streaming or the ban he received from Twitch for streaming in an E3 bathroom. He’ll still be streaming, but he’s now making the jump to the game development side of video games by way of new studio Midnight Society. 

“We flip the tables on the traditional video game development model and embrace the ‘Day Zero Community,’” the Midnight Society website reads. “That means including our players – yes, you – from the earliest most inception. This could include testing recoil patterns and reload time on the firing range, or even jumping into first ever PVP sessions. No more ‘I hope this game will be good.’ Be there when your voice can actually make an impact because we want to hear it. Really.” 

The studio has not yet made a formal announcement about a Midnight Society game. All signs are pointing to multiplayer shooters. Be it Beahm’s involvement, former Call of Duty and Halo developers, the mention of “reload times and recoil patterns in a firing range” or the job listing description that urges possible employees to “step up, strap in, and start defining the next best competitive multiplayer experiences, period,” it seems Midnight Society’s first game will be a shooter. 

The website features some images, too – seen above – that might hint at what the team’s first game could be. Although it may be concept art or nothing to do with Midnight Society’s current projects, this image could still be valid. It will be revealed in due course.
