With next generation development looking like it will require even more effort and potentially kill off even more small developers, the Climax Group have decided to create the largest single studio in the UK: Merging Climax Solent, Climax London and Climax Handheld, to form Climax Action.
The new studio will concentrate on making games for next generation systems from Sony and Microsoft, focussing on what they like to call multi-genre-action (MGA) games. Bringing the three studios together will create a team experienced in many genres: first-person shooters, role-playing games, racing games and war games.
“This exciting development is a glowing tribute to the progressive thinking here at Climax,” said Simon Gardner, President of the new operation. “By bringing together the vast experience, expertise and technology from each division, we’ve created a mega studio that is better equipped to develop multi-genre-action games than any other in the country.”
He continued: “With the Solent studio recently completing work on the critically-acclaimed Sudeki, and the London division working on a massive action license, now is the perfect time to bring these respected studios together. And by combining one team’s experience with first-person shooters with the other team’s expertise in third-person and vehicle games, we’ve created a studio that is geared-up to produce truly outstanding action games.”
The company are remaining tight lipped on their next generation projects, but we will keep you updated on any news.
