Founded by gaming industry veterans Jean-Nicolas Vernin and Pierre-Armand Nicq, Opus Major is a global game studio in Paris dedicated to crafting games and entertainment in which 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.

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.
“Music and gaming are both powerful ways to connect with people, and Jean-Nicolas and Pierre-Armand are combining them in ways that feel familiar yet unique. The team are some of the most passionate and genuinely creative people, we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”
