BattleCry Studios joins Bethesda Game Studios
By Kevin Mitchell ·
ZeniMax has announced they are welcoming BattleCry Studios into their family as Bethesda Game Studios Austin. The American video game developer was founding in 2012, was working on the aptly named online multiplayer title BattleCry. In 2015, the studio had laid off a sizable portion of their staff, and halted work on BattleCry in favor for other projects.
As the vision, scale and ambitions for our games continue to grow, so does Bethesda Game Studios. We’ve had the pleasure to know the talented developers at BattleCry, and knew we could do great things together.
Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios
The newly formed Bethesda Game Studios Austin is supported by a core team of industry veterans, and the studio will be managed by Doug Mellencamp as Studio Director.
