Ex-Black Rock Devs Form New Studio
Disney Interactive has been beating a hasty retreat from traditional console games, and Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios (based in Brighton, England) have been barring some of the brunt. Two former Black Rock's developers have taken matters into their own hands and started their own studio – Roundcube Entertainment.
GamesIndustry.biz reports that Split/Second director Nick Baynes is Roundcube's studio director, and Ian Monaghan is the development director. The company has made no announcements regarding any projects it has in the works.
Meanwhile back at Black Rock, the studio continues to work on an unannounced game despite recent layoffs.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
