Hangar 13, mest kända som utvecklarna av Mafia III, låter meddela att de startat ett nytt team i Brighton. Det var från början Nick Baynes (Split/Second) egna studio och planerna för framtiden är glasklara. Via Games Industry får vi veta att den uttalade strategin är att låta studion växa för att sedan tillverka storspel till konsol tillsammans med tre andra studios som också är lokaliserade i just Brighton.
Andy Wilson är VP of development hos Hangar 13 och kommenterar denna nya satsning såhär till Games 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."
Vad de ska jobba med vet vi inte, och det lär dröja ett år eller två innan vi får svaret.
