Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow Producer Joins Mobile Developer Fish In A Bottle
David Cox, producer on the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, left Konami last year, and now we know where he has landed.
Cox announced today that he has joined Fish in a Bottle studios, a developer primarily focused on mobile games. The studio is partnered with companies like Disney and Nickelodeon and has worked franchises like Spongebob Square Pants, Star Wars, Peppa Pig, Scooby Doo, and Phineas and Ferb among others. As to why Cox decided to join the studio he writes, "I joined Fish in a Bottle because they are a development studio with big ambitions to grow in delivering core games services to the market."
For more on Cox, you can read a pair of interviews with him when he was working on the Lords of Shadow series here and here.
Our Take
It's an odd move, going from a studio working on a very violent and dark game series to a studio that has worked with arguably better known, but less mature properties. I suppose you can only work in the darkness for so long though before you crave some levity.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

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.
