2K Games is expanding once again as the publisher has announced the establishment of a brand new development studio in Silicon Valley. The studio doesn’t yet have a name, but we know that Michael Condrey, formerly of Visceral Games and Sledgehammer Games, will serve as its President.
Condrey is a well-known name in the industry, and he previously served as Creator Director for Dead Space, as well as three games in the Call of Duty franchise (2011’s Modern Warfare 3, 2014’s Advanced Warfare, and 2017’s WWII).
“At 2K, we offer our collective audience a variety of engaging and captivating entertainment experiences. We continually seek opportunities to empower and invest in the right people and ideas,” said David Ismailer, the President of 2K Games. “Michael’s unparalleled creative, production and leadership accolades are well-documented and deserved. We are greatly inspired not only by his passion but the potential for his new studio to complement our existing portfolio and development expertise. We welcome Michael to the 2K family and look forward to seeing our new Silicon Valley studio flourish in the months and years to come.”
Condrey added: “Great games come from the passion of a team driven by the pursuit of quality and the empowerment of an independent studio model. 2K’s studios have creative and technical autonomy, backed by a world-class infrastructure of support, and that offers the perfect recipe to build a new studio and craft experiences that will lead the next generation of gaming for fans everywhere. David and the dedicated people at 2K and Take-Two have an extensive history of rich and established brands, as well as a long tenure of executive leadership committed to supporting the ambitions of their independent studio teams.”
Condrey and his team are currently hard at work on an unannounced project that’ll be announced at a later date.
