Epic’s New German Studio Will Be All About ‘Interactive Media and Streaming Technologies’
A few months ago, Epic Games added Rocket League developer Psyonix to its growing stable of studios. Now, another team is being added to the equation, with a brand-new studio recently opening in Cologne, Germany. Fittingly, the publisher?s dubbed this fresh team of creatives Epic Games Cologne. The Factor 5 founders, who were behind Turrican and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, will lead the Cologne studio for Epic. According to the publisher?s announcement of this news, Epic Game Cologne represents ?part of the company?s expanding focus on emerging forms of interactive media and streaming technologies.?
Given the Factor 5 team?s pedigree, it seems Epic could not have picked a better group to help advance its streaming technology plans. For example, Epic Games Director of Online Technology Julian Eggebrecht and Cologne Studio Director Achim Moller once worked alongside the likes of Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix for media delivery. The pair also has experience in providing services to Nintendo and Sony as ?technology partners.?
