Epic Buys Gears of War: Judgment Dev
Epic Games revealed it has purchased developer People Can Fly. The company previously held a majority stake, but now the studio is a wholly owned subsidiary. People Can Fly is currently working on Gears of War: Judgment, due out this coming March for Xbox 360.
"We doubled down on People Can Fly," Epic Games VP Mark Rein told Polygon. "It was something we always hoped to do." The purchase led to the departures of key developers Adrian Chmielarz, Andrzej Poznanski and Michal Kosieradzki last week. Epic also saw long-time producer Rod Fergusson leave to work at Irrational Games on BioShock Infinite.
Epic also recently announced its newly-formed Baltimore studio has been named Impossible Studios.
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.
