Mafia III-utvikler åpner nytt studio

Hangar 13, mest kjent som utvikleren av Mafia III, har åpnet et nytt studio i Brighton ved å ta over en indiegjeng ledet an Nick Baynes (Split/Second), og det virker som de har store planer. Ifølge Games Industry er planen å utvide studioet og lage AAA-spill med tre andre studioer i Brighton.

Andy Wilson, utviklingssjefen for Hangar 13, hadde følgende å si om avtalen til Game Industry:

"This is a specific choice for us. It's actually based on the fact that Nick and I used to work together at Black Rock, going back longer than I am prepared to say. At GDC last year we met up, and Nick had formed a smallish studio with some of our former colleagues from the Split/Second team. They were interested in getting back into console development. Back then we needed a partner for some contracting work, so we started out that way. As the year went on, things were going well and it became apparent we had a big opportunity, because Brighton and the South East has this vast pool of talent, with console experience, but there's a lack of console development going on in the UK."

Vi vet ikke hva de jobber med, men vi har hørt rykter om at Hangar 13 jobber med et nytt Bioshock-spill, noe som hadde vært kult! Hva håper du å se fra det nye studioet til hangar 13?
