True Games opens new Austin studio
Facility to focus on creation of premium online micro-transaction content
US online publisher True Games has announced that it is to open a new studio in Austin, Texas, which will create the company's third, as-yet-unnamed, micro-transaction title.
The game is a newly-created IP and will follow on from the publisher's first two games - Warrior Epic, launched in the Spring this year, and the Petroglyph-developed Mytheon, which is preparing for launch now.
"We are thrilled to announce the formation of our new development studio," said Bob Drobish, co-founder and CEO of True Games Interactive. "This new studio will allow us to have more direct control and involvement in the development process of our games which is critical when you are developing new IP."
The studio will be headed up by Frank Lucero, who previously worked at Wolfpack Studios/Stray Bullet Games, Midway Amusement Games and Sega Interactive.
