Henry Hatsworth creators leave EA for new studio, DreamRift

We thought that the DS puzzle/platforming hybrid Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure seemed a little bit weird for EA. The developers seem to have noticed the incongruity -- two of the project leads have just announced their departure from EA to found a new studio called DreamRift.

Peter Ong, Lead Designer on the title, and Lead Programmer Ryan Pijai have yet to announce what kind of games they will work on as DreamRift, but they will reveal their first project to publishers at GDC this week. It would be pretty ironic if they left EA and switched gears from clever, original DS titles to games about dudes in the future shooting each other.
