Bethesda opens new studio in Texas for unannounced project

Bethesda has opened Battlecry Studios in Austin, Texas.

The studio is to be headed by industry-veteran Rich Vogel. He has worked on games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars Galaxies and Ultimate Online. The new studio is currently hiring game developers for work on an unannounced project.

”I have always admired and respected Bethesda’s approach to making great, original games,” said Vogel.

“It’s a belief and passion I share, and I’m looking forward to building a team of high quality developers who want to bring that same commitment and creative energy to the games we’ll be creating.”

Battlecry joins another Zenimax studio in Austin. Arcane Studios is currently readying Dishonored for release.
