New game studio fuses music and gaming to create the greatest musical adventure to date, backed by $10M in funding led by Griffin
Music and video games are natural social amplifiers. They bring people together through their own language and interactions. Music bands and video game guilds strengthen players’ bonds, sometimes leading to lifelong friendships. For gaming industry veterans Jean-Nicolas Vernin and Pierre-Armand Nicq, their mission was clear: to make the world jam together.
Today, they officially introduce Opus Major, a global game studio dedicated to crafting games and entertainment where the power of music brings people together.
Backed by a $10M seed round led by Griffin Gaming Partners, joined by its early investor Alven, Opus Major is embarking on its journey to create its first opus: a multiplayer adventure where music becomes magic.
“Our mission at Opus Major is to make the world jam together. We have experienced countless joyful memories while playing music and video games with friends. Our original spark came from a simple idea: can we bring them both together and build a great social adventure where music is magic? A multiplayer game where you could form a band of heroes with your friends and save the world through the power of music? We decided to build our first opus to fulfill this mission. We have been working hard with our team of jammers to offer a first glimpse of our universe in 2025,” shared the founders of Opus Major.
An Opus in the Making
Founded in January 2023, Opus Major is more than just a name—it’s a vision. “Opus” embodies the team’s artistic ambition, a commitment to crafting worlds where creativity flourishes. “Major” represents a vision beyond a single game, with plans to develop a universe that resonates across multiple mediums.
The First Note: A New Game in Development
While details remain under wraps, Opus Major’s first project—its Opus #1—is well underway. The studio is gearing up to reveal more this year, with an exclusive, limited-access first playable version, allowing players to get an early feel for its unique universe.
