Epic Games China Acquires Darkstar Studios
Seems like Epic just keeps on expanding and expanding. Today, word comes that their Asian division, Epic Games China, have
acquired Darkstar Studios, makers of the PS3 MMORPG Fat Princess, renaming them Titan Studios in the process.
The studio will continue its work on Fat Princess, as well as create original games and provide technical Unreal Engine 3 support to those that work with Epic Games China.
Titan's multiple UE3-powered projects include a massively multiplayer online game, of which no details were revealed. The studio's staff hails from a variety of developers, such as Ubisoft, Epic Games, Blizzard Entertainment and Lionhead Studios.
Titan was founded by Epic Games China, which controls UE3 licensing in Asia, and provides technology support to developers worldwide. Today's announcement suggests that Titan is a significantly larger studio than Darkstar was, with Epic noting that only "the core of the team" was known as Darkstar.
