Former Vivendi Games’ chief joins 3G Studios
Drew Markham, former Chief Creative Officer of Vivendi Games, is a veteran of the video games industry with over 15 years of experience under his belt. The titles he worked with have Game of the Year awards tied to them, so you could say we’re curious as to what Vivendi Games felt when Markham moved over to the new development company, 3G.
3G Studios appointed Markham to head the 3G Tahoe Studio for next-generation development. They have a line up of several original games for the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3 and PSP, Microsoft Xbox 360 and the PC.
The production line up also includes an AAA title being developed in conjunction with Vivendi Games. Another title under development was mentioned, but it was in partnership with another major publisher.
3G Chief Executive Officer James Kosta said:
Drew Markham is a very talented and creative leader in the video game industry. His broad industry knowledge, creative insights and years of gaming experience have seen him create some of the most successful video games in the industry’s history. His experience will bring tremendous advantages to 3G. We anticipate that Drew will add that extra creative edge to the games we are developing.
The list of games that Markham has worked produced and designed include Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Redneck Rampage and Kingpin. He founded Gray Matter Studios and worked with several other publishers in the past including Activision and Interplay. Details regarding the titles being developed by 3G Studios may be revealed in this year’s upcoming Game Developer’s Conference.
