Epic Games forms Impossible Studios from the ashes of Big Huge Games and 38 Studios

Excerpt: "Epic Games, Inc. announces the opening of Impossible Studios, a company comprised of highly skilled, senior-level game development talent.

Founded in June, Impossible brings world-class game development expertise and creativity to Epic’s growing team. With heralded roots in real-time strategy and role-playing entertainment software, Impossible brings its own distinct design and technical sensibilities to Epic’s portfolio of games and game technology across major platforms."

Nice move picking these guys up if you ask me they can do a lot of good stuff for Epic in the future. We might see an RPG in the future for Epic well that would be Epic XD. That being said since there first project is an iOS game maybe they could bring at some point Infinity Blade to Consoles or even Vita.

Would be also good to see what these people could do with Unreal Tournament since it kinda sits on the back burner to Gear of War.

Nicely done Epic! This is the kind of news I love to hear about.

If its another FPS then count me out.

[Fishy Fingers]

They're first title is an iOS game based on Infinity Blade, and it says right there, they have a history of real-time strategy and role-playing games. So I'd say an FPS is unlikely.

Did you read the piece?

[DigitalRaptor]

No I didn't actually, although normally I do . Just made a rash misjudgement, which I don't think was called for. I think I was mixing things up with Epic's last collaboration which was just another dude bro shooter. But this being an RTS or RPG is a good thing.

Edit: Oh sh*t, these are the guys who made Kingdoms of Amalur? My bad, completely my bad!

@DigitalRaptor Good on you for admitting the mistake. Bubbles to you amigo =D

As to the article, never tried Infinity Blade since I don't have access to any iOS devices. May remedy that one day, but seeing the series come to Vita, PC, or console would be nice.

Big Huge Games were a very talented team if you ask me. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was a very solid title in my opinion.

[SlapHappyJesus]

It had its issues with balancing and was a bit repetitious, but it had great character development. and the combat, while pretty easy, was a blast.

I was really hoping for a the better sequel. :/

Anyway, glad to see that talented developers got picked up and quick. That whole mess was very unfortunate.

The people at BHG deserved another shot they did a great job over the years. 38 Studios however was a big let down.

Wish this new studio the best and hope all former employees from 38 and Big Huge have found appropriate jobs to feed their families.
