Epic Games opens Impossible Studios, based in Maryland

Founded in June, the studio comprises of former employees of Big Huge Games, the studio behind Kingdoms of Amalur.

Epic Games has announced the opening of Impossible Studios in Hunt Vallley, Maryland.

The studio if led by Sean Dunn and is formed of former employees of Big Huge Games, the studio behind Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Impossible's first project is action role-playing game Infinity Blade: Dungeons for iOS, being developed in collaboration with Epic and ChAIR under Impossible's roof in Maryland.

"Epic Games has truly embraced this stellar collection of developers who were displaced by the closing of Big Huge Games," said studio director Sean Dunn. "They have looked after us with complete care, giving us all the tools and resources we need to make a lot of gamers happy."

"We were so glad we could help keep this great team together, and we're lucky to have them," said Epic Games president Dr. Michael Capps. "At the time, I said that finding a full team of superstars was 'impossible' and apparently the name stuck! Pairing the imagination and experience of Impossible with Epic's technology, IP and resources makes for a business greater than the sum of its parts."

Infinity Blade: Dungeons is scheduled for release later this year.
