Founded in 2021 by Dr Disrespect (Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV), Robert Bowling, and Quinn Delhoyo, Midnight Society set out to redefine competitive FPS games. With industry veterans from Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield, the studio aimed to prioritize community feedback by involving players in early development.

Their first project, DEADROP, introduced an unconventional development process, where select players could test pre-alpha versions and provide direct input. Midnight Society promised to blend AAA game development with Web3 elements, allowing digital ownership without pay-to-win mechanics. However, controversy, financial instability, and an abrupt shutdown in 2025 ended the studio’s ambitions before it could launch its first full game.
