Sounds Like Roll7 are doing a Hello Games. Exciting.
A spiritual sequel to Tony Hawk, except actually working?
That or Skate I'd imagine.

Huh, care to say any examples? A lot of Online focused games have been having sucess as far as i can remember
Really pleased to hear they're getting financial backing to do bigger things. They make fun games.
It's awesome.
It's awesome.
Evolve and Battleborn come to mind, also games such as Wildstar and Guild Wars 2 started offering f2p options to players in order to try and negate the consistent drops in their respective games player count. I'm sure there are some others that I'm forgetting.

Not a Hero is brilliant. It's a lot of fun to play, though it does have a couple of minor gripes. One, the game is a bit too short. I beat the game with all side missions in about 5-6 hours. Two, some of the heroes are blatantly better than others i.e. Mike with his double barreled shotgun and stealthy execution. Three, the Bunnylord joke can get a bit annoying at times with the whole Peanuts wah-wah thing. Other than that, it's a blast to play, the writing is pretty funny, and its built in the mold of Hotline Miami where you'll frequently die and retry to get the timing right on things.
On topic, it is great they're expanding but the last developer that comes to mind who jumped from smaller games to a big multiplayer project was 5th Cell. Hybrid really did a number on them, if their Wikipedia page is right. I like the creative minds behind Roll7 so I hope this goes well for them, or at least well enough that Not a Hero 2 gets made.
Well, you're using AAA games as examples. As far as indie-multiplayer centric games go, they have been quite sucessful. Especially because they generally do stuff differently.
I'm more aware of local multiplayer successes than online on the indie forefront I believe, like Starwhal, Towerfall and Nidhogg. Rocketleague could also be considered an indie and that's an amazing success and also a game that I personally enjoy, it might just be an artificial barrier that I raise whenever developers announce multiplayer focused projects. Anyway, I just hope it's a good game.
