Former Halo Composer Marty O'Donnell And Partners Form New Studio
After his termination from and subsequent lawsuit against Bungie, Marty O'Donnell has helped to establish a new development studio.
The name of the studio is Highwire Games, and in addition to O'Donnell includes the talent of former Bungie designer Jaime Griesemer and Airtight Games co-founder Jared Noftle. NeoGAF picked up on the news when a fan tweeted a photo of O'Donnell's new business card, and quickly dug up an additional LinkedIn page and alleged website. O'Donnell has since confirmed the studio and Greisemer and Noftle's involvement.
No other information is known, but the LinkedIn page for Highwire Games lists the company size as between 1-10 employees, and that it specializes in games, consoles, and virtual reality.
