Three former Bungie developers have joined forces to create a new game studio. Moonshot Games founders Michel Bastien, Damián Isla, and Rob Stokes all have experience working on the legendary Halo series. The dream team is now turning their attention to the digital pastures.

The main focus of Moonshot Games is to utilize Bastien, Isla, and Stokes' talents developing AAA for the downloadable front. According to the press release, "stars need not be limited to multimillion-dollar projects supported by armies of ground crew. There is a place in history for that small, nimble craft, built smartly on a modest budget, and piloted by expert hands."

It sounds like the guys at Moonshot have their hearts in the right place. The world is ready for more stellar downloadable titles.

I'm down, we need more titles like castle crashers or braid.
by xplay92 Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 07:19 PM

Agreed Caleb.

This new studio along with EA's previous Red Wood Shores, now Visceral Games will hopefully create some unique IP's or DLC.

Best of luck to them. Hope they fulfill their dream.

Looks like they got mighty close to taking Planet Express's logo....

Sounds interesting, Being former bungie employees, im sure they'll do great.
by Zeckmoney Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 08:23 PM

Hey Good Luck im sure these guys will bring us some great titles in the near future!!!
by Kryos Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 08:27 PM

Cant wait for some games from them!
by Toastngravy Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 08:43 PM

Well then name is fitting; It certainly is going to be a shot for the moon if they think they can actually pull that off!

Oh man.

I am so witty.
by Greg Lewis Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 10:46 PM

Sounds good, looks like a new form of DLC could be on the way. :D
by GERgaMerAny Wednesday, October 07, 2009 at 11:09 PM

Well im exited :)

It's very refreshing to see Downloadable Content (DLC) taken more and more seriously. Ever since the invention of Map Packs it's been nothing but new and improving ways to get cheap or even free content to the players.

Why did they leave Bungie
by Ebonka Thursday, October 08, 2009 at 07:36 AM

While I've never really gotten into downloadable games, I wish Moonshot the best of luck. Maybe they can take over Chair Entertainment's failed attempt at finally making an Ender's Game video game.
by ninja Thursday, October 08, 2009 at 08:51 AM

Moonshot Games! I'll be looking forward to seeing what they will produce. I love the Halo series, Halo 2 change gaming for me.
by Vote 4 Pedro Thursday, October 08, 2009 at 11:47 AM

Moonshot, eh? Sounds pretty interesting, to say the least. I like a good XBLA title, so hopefully they do a good job!
by Sean Lowery Thursday, October 08, 2009 at 02:51 PM

Sounds to me they didn't like all of the B.S. surrounding major projects and just want to develop games without wading through paperwork.
by Jake H. Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 12:00 AM

It'll be cool to see what these talented folks come up with. Are they thinking XBLA style titles or more ODST style. I'm interested. GI should keep their ears perked for this company.
by ZyKo Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 04:27 PM

Good Luck Moonshot Games o and thanx for all the halo games :)
