Bethesda Softworks announced that it has formed a new studio called Battlecry Studios which will be situated in Austin, Texas. The new studio will be led by Rich Vogel, who previously worked on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
At the moment, it is unclear what Battlecry will be working on in the future, however, a job listing at ZeniMax (Bethesda’s owner) revealed the new studio are looking for a monetization designer for an “upcoming online game”. Other job listings detail support for a “free to play online game”. The Lead Designer role also requires a “Strong passion for games and excellent knowledge of FPS’s and RPG’s”
Could this new studio be helping Bethesda with their upcoming online MMO The Elder Scrolls Online or even working on an online Fallout game?
