Soon-to-be-closed Ensemble Studios will have some form of successor, according to developer Graeme Devine. In September Microsoft announced plans to shut down the Age of Empires creators, much to the dismay of RTS fans around the world.
“There’s a new studio forming that will rise from Ensemble,” confirmed Devine last week. “They haven’t announced specific plans, so I can’t comment on that. Microsoft is looking at people to find them homes, but frankly right now we’re just focusing on finishing the darn game and making sure that’s job number one. I don’t think anyone has really thought much beyond that yet. Let’s get Halo Wars finished. In this industry, you’re only as good as your last game.”
Ensemble’s last game will be Halo Wars, due for release on Xbox 360 in February 2009.
