FreeStyleGames Goes Next-Gen
FreeStyleGames is an independent British developer founded in 2002. Hip-hop rhythm action game B-Boy, its first title, is set for release this year. Even so, the young, talented and ambitious company expresses plans to go next-gen. And with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) backing them up, why wouldn’t they?
With the major expansion in mind, the independent developer is looking to recruit new artists, animators, programmers and project managers over the next year. Aside from the jump, FreeStyleGames is thinking about a move to set up offices to significantly grow development capacity.
To PSP and PS2 fans who are already excited about B-Boy and would like to see more of FreeStyleGames, you need not worry as they don’t totally plan to leave the current generation consoles.
According to their Commercial Director, Chris Lee, “While we’re all excited about the results we’re seeing on next-gen hardware, we’re still committed to developing at least two more current generation products, as there’s a lot of life left in the market so it doesn’t make sense to ignore it.“
FreeStyleGames is presently based in Leamington Spa, in the Midlands of England. To date, they employ only around 30 people.
