The original co-founders of developer Guerrilla Games (of Killzone fame) are now forming a new video game company called Vanguard Entertainment.
Martin de Ronde and Michiel Mol are merging their online games production company Karami with developer W! Games in an effort to bring the fundamentals of popular PC social network games to consoles and other platforms.
"Over the past few years, we have been closely following the rapid rise of social network games, browser based games and new online business models associated with these platforms. We also see that the market for console games forms the heart of our industry still in terms of revenue and state of the art production values," said de Ronde.
"We feel both these market segments will be rapidly converging over the coming years, rather than competing with each other, and with Vanguard we want to be at the forefront of this development. It will be Vanguard’s mission to capitalise on the need for new types of online content on consoles, which it will be doing with games based on original IP."
