Activision Publishing announces the formation of Sledgehammer Games, a new wholly-owned game development studio located in Foster City, CA that corresponds to a trademark they registered a couple of months ago. The studio is being run by industry veterans Glen A. Schofield and Michael Condrey (Dead Space) and is said to be developing an unannounced new videogame. "Both Glen and Michael have outstanding reputations in the industry through their work as GM and COO of Visceral Games, and as the leadership of the Dead Space development team," says Dave Stohl, Executive Vice President of Studios at Activision. "We are excited to add their combined 30 years of experience and expertise to our management team"
