Midnight Society: Everything We Know About Dr. Disrespect’s New Studio and the People Involved
In case you missed it, Dr. Disrespect has finally revealed his new game studio – Midnight Society.
Not much is known yet about their upcoming project or about every single stakeholder in The Two-Time’s long-awaited shop, but the team has already claimed that they are “building an all-star AAA roster to usher in the new era of online PVP multiplayer titles”. Doc has been incredibly outspoken about his likes and dislikes when it comes to the most popular games of today, including Halo Infinite, Call of Duty, and Fortnite. It seems like he knows exactly what he wants to see in a battle royale and/or arena shooter, and he’s assembled an impressive roster right off the rip to help make Midnight Society’s first project a reality.
We already know that the two biggest names joining Doc at Midnight Society are Quinn DelHoyo, formerly of 343 Industries, and Robert Bowling – most famous for his work on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy. Here’s an “as complete as I could get it” dossier on Midnight Society’s co-founders.

What they’re cooking up, when it’s coming, or when we’ll know more is a complete mystery at the moment, but we’ll absolutely keep you posted whenever we learn more on what the Two-Time and friends are up to as soon as we find out.
Yayayayaya.
