Epic Games announced through a brief blog post the foundation of a new studio in Poland. It will be spearheaded by a small team coming from indie studio Plastic, known for unique productions released on PlayStation consoles like Linger in Shadows, Datura, and Bound.
According to the announcement press release, the new studio will focus on the creation of original standalone experiences that ‘push forward the boundaries of graphics and game development’. It seems likely that they will leverage Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman Creator tools to do so.
Michal Staniszewski, Studio Director at Epic Games, stated:
Hector Sanchez, Head of Epic Games Publishing, added:
This is yet another European studio founded by Epic Games, following the Cologne office formed by ex Factor 5 developers. Needless to say, we will brief you whenever they’re ready to show what they are working on.
