Former CoD Developer Claims Brazil’s Love for Gaming is Unmatched [EXCLUSIVE]

Chance Glasco, one of the original developers of the Call of Duty franchise, recently spoke with Screen Rant about the passion Brazil has for gaming, placing them at the number-one spot when it comes to enthusiasm. Glasco, who co-founded Infinity Ward, now works at Good Dog Studios, which he also co-founded with industry veterans. The studio is developing the upcoming simulation title Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil, inspired by critically acclaimed games like Two Point Hospital. The game centers around players managing jiu-jitsu gyms in a Brazilian favela.

Glasco discussed his love for the sport and the country of Brazil, as well as his excitement to debut the game’s cinematic trailer at BIG Festival in São Paulo this June because of the passion the audience there has for gaming. With both a Brazil-based setting and announcement for the game at BIG Festival, it’s no wonder why Glasco predicts audiences in that region will likely get excited about the title. However, although it focuses on jiu-jitsu, the overlap between MMA fans of all kinds spans across countries to create a very big audience.

From Glasco’s quote, it’s clear that after being a part of a franchise as big as Call of Duty, his focus is no longer on things like market size or copies sold. Instead, he seeks to find players who are just as passionate about the upcoming game as he is. A stark departure from the first-person shooter genre, Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil seeks to cover entirely new ground while also celebrating the culture of Brazil and its passionate inhabitants.
