Bethesda has launched Battlecry Studios in the heart of Austin, Texas to head up the development of an unannounced, unnamed project. The new studio is lead by former SWTOR executive producer Rich Vogel, a developer with titles like the venerated Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies under his belt.
With over 20 years of game development experience, Vogel appears to be a man with experience who knows what he’s doing.
“I have always admired and respected Bethesda’s approach to making great, original games,” said Vogel. “It’s a belief and passion I share, and I’m looking forward to building a team of high quality developers who want to bring that same commitment and creative energy to the games we’ll be creating.”
“We are very pleased to have someone with Rich’s vast experience join us at Bethesda,” said Vlatko Andonov, President of Bethesda Softworks. “Rich has a history of building and managing talented development teams and bringing high quality games to market, and we look forward to working with him on a new exciting project.”
Battlecry Studios is the second studio under the ZeniMax umbrella alongside Arkane Studios, which has offices in Austin for the developers of the upcoming game, Dishonored.
The studio is hiring, so if you’re interested in working with them, be sure to apply here.
