Turbine, the studio behind Lord of the Rings Online, has opened a new west coast studio in Redwood City, CA. Additionally, the studio notes that it has picked up a few noteworthy recruits from the now defunct Flagship Studios, the studio behind the ill-fated Hellgate: London.
Among the recruits are creative director Dave Brebik, former Chief Visionary Officer for Flagship, and Jeff Lind, a technology specialist who will take on the role of engineering director. The new studio will be headed by Matt McKnight, former CEO of Sniper Studios.
“The new studio will be a vital part of Turbine’s corporate vision as it brings new titles to market, expands the platforms it supports and introduces new technologies to expand and grow the communities that are the foundation of online games," reads a press release from Turbine.
