THQ, Gamebryo vets launch Azo Studios


We look on in anticipation and give a collective "awww" as 2009's newest game company pecks its way out of its shell. Going by the name of Azo Studios, the fledgling outfit was founded by a trio of game industry professionals with intentions of creating games and middleware solutions for consoles, PCs and handhelds.

Among those responsible for the company are Dave Eberly, recognized as the driving force behind NetImmerse, technology that eventually went on to become Gamebryo, the engine used in developing such games as Fallout 3 and Warhammer Online.

Eberly is joined by former THQ and Rainbow Studios vets Nick Koziupa and Brian Westergaard, and while Azo Studios has yet to talk specifics, the company notes that it plans to develop original properties as well as work with partners in the music and entertainment industries. We wish you well, little bird, and hope as you leave the nest to spread your wings you take flight, and don't smash your beak on the ground below.
