It’s called Robot Entertainment, and has been established [[link]] by [[link]] Ensemble co-founder Tony Goodman, along with “a number of veterans” from the former Microsoft-owned studio.
Is this the new studio – the one that will continue work on Halo Wars and other first-party titles – Microsoft spoke about when the Ensemble shuttering was first announced? Certainly looks [[link]] like it, so we could possibly be looking at the future home of Age of Empires as well.
