Having left Tap Fish developer Gameview Studios in February following its acquisition by DeNA two years previously, co-founders Riz Virk and Mitch Liu have unveiled their latest project.
Midverse Studios, which describes itself as a "next generation mobile gaming" outfit, has launched its first game on iOS, with Virk and Liu opting to take the free-to-play route with strategy combat release Mini Empires.

"We're really proud to launch this as the first game for our new studio," explained co-founder and CEO Virk.
"It's an extremely social game incorporating several features that are very unique to the genre.
"The gameplay is easy to learn yet difficult to master, and it provides players at all levels with engaging and addictive challenges."
Midverse claims Mini Empires has already been featured by Apple in ten countries, with co-founder Liu claiming Midverse was keen not to simply ape other outfits on the App Store.
"We've incorporated gameplay elements inspired by classic games like Civilization and Age of Empires and combined them with popular features from today's best social/mobile games to create a new kind of mobile social strategy game," he added.
Midverse has set up base in Mountain View, California, with more information available on the studio's website.
