A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

Bring on the single player games
