Respawn site goes live, teases new game
Plus, studio picks up God of War talent.
Respawn Entertainment – the studio set up last year by sacked Infinity Ward bosses Jason West and Vince Zampella – has launched its official website, and offered a quick, blurry glimpse at its first title.
In the "Games" section there's a doctored screen shot from what is presumably the developer's current project. Take a look below and see if you can make anything out.
The text below doesn't give much away, reading, "Respawn is developing a multi-platform product based on new video game IP and funded through its publishing deal with Electronic Arts, one of the top publishers in the industry."
An FAQ in the forum refuses to give an ETA for the title, but adds, "However, we plan on showing some behind-the-scenes content and other fun stuff on our site. We hope you find it intriguing."
The site also lists all current staff, showcasing just how many Modern Warfare emigrés West and Zampella have lured across.
Not only that but it seems they've secured the services of a number of God of War 3 artists and designers from Sony's Santa Monica office.
Earlier this month, a court ruled that West and Zampella's legal tussle with former employers Activision will go to trial, likely in late 2011 or 2012.
