Sable creative director forms new studio Eteo

Shedworks co-founder Gregorios Kythreotis has founded a new studio called Eteo.

Based in London, the independent studio is working with a global group of collaborators to make “vibrant game worlds with a distinctly mischievous flavour.”

Its debut game is currently in development, and planned for release in 2027.

The title is supported by Outersloth, the indie games fund created by Among Us developer Innersloth last June.

Next January, Eteo will debut a “collective newsletter project” called Archetypes. It aims to “give writers the space to examine aspects of video game design with each article examining themes relevant to Eteo’s design philosophies.”

“Sable was our first really big game, it changed my life completely,” Kythreotis said in an announcement video. “Eteo is sort of the next step with that.”

He continued: “Taking everything I’ve learned from studying architecture, from Shedworks, from Sable, and applying that to new creative explorations, projects that are really personal, but carry on with that lineage of world building, of storytelling, and games that really engage people on an emotional level.”

Kythreotis founded Shedworks with Daniel Fineberg in 2014, and was creative director on its debut game Sable.

Released in 2021, the title won Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards.
