ActivisionBlizzard's New Studio is Called Sledgehammer Games

Foster City-based Sledgehammer Games will be headed up by former EA stars, Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey.

We reported back in July that both Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey jumped ship from EA's Visceral Studios and were headed to a new gig at Activision Blizzard.

The pair -- who are best known for their work on the excellent Dead Space -- are now officially heading up Acti's newly named Sledgehammer Games and apparently are already hard at work on an unannounced game.

Activision Publishing, Inc. today announced the appointments of industry veterans Glen A. Schofield as Vice President and General Manager and Michael Condrey as Vice President and COO of Sledgehammer Games, a new wholly-owned game development studio located in Foster City, California. Sledgehammer Games is currently in development on an as-yet-unannounced new videogame.

Given their history at EA, it's not inconceivable that Schofield and Condrey will craft a new intellectual property which could be in a similar vein to that of Dead Space or Dante's Inferno.


This and according to the rumors 18% of employees at Visceral Games got fired. Bye Dead Space 2 Sad

Yeah, if Dead Space is cancelled then they're fucking retarded... It'd be very well recieved and I'd buy it without a doubt... The first one is easily my favorite all time horror game.

EA is HUUUUGE. Even if the whole studio that made DS gets fired a different internal studio can work on Dead Space 2. Like BioShock 2 who is developed by mostly different people. Or Left 4 Dead 2. Or Need for Speed: Shift.

It will be very stupid of EA to completely abandon the Dead Space IP.

And, while laying off hundreds of employees EA still manages to set aside a few hundred millions for executive bonuses. Pretty lulzworthy for self evident reasons...
