Google snag a God Of War studio head for their new Stadia officeDon’t chop off the head, please.
Don’t chop off the head, please.
Googles new studio, located in the Playa Vista neighbourhood of LA, is a mere stone’s throw from Studstill’s old desk at Sony Santa Monica. That team was largely known for developingGod Of War, that PlayStation-exclusive series about a bald Greek bloke wot chopped up gods and monsters ‘til he had a midlife crisis, moved to Scandinavia, and become a dad in 2018.
It’s Stadia’s second in-house development house alongside a Montreal studio formed last October. Google haven’t disclosed who’s running the ship up North, nor have they revealed what either studio is working on right now. In ablog post, Stadia head Jade Raymond simply noted that the team is exploring new mechanics and “interaction models” for Stadia-exclusive games.
“While we’re not ready to share specific game plans yet, rest assured we are listening to what gamers want and adding our own Stadia twists to create new IP and experiences.”
It’ll be interesting to see where Studstill takes the studio from here. Will she take this as a chance to step away from gore-soaked deicide? Or is Stadia looking for some of that Kratos charm to give themselves a killer edge in the game streaming wars?
