As you can see from the above video, Ensemble Studios managed to squeeze in a final farewell message thanking all of the fans for their support over the 12 years in the final credits for Halo Wars.
It’s too bad Ensemble Studios had to close right when their flagship game was released. Oh well, let’s just hope Robot Entertainment and Bonfire Studios will continue the once great developers legacy.
The recent formation of Robot Entertainment by former Ensemble employees was met with much applaud from gamers. It was even more awesome when they announced they would support Halo Wars while working on a new project.
Now comes word that a second studio has risen from the ashes of Ensemble in the form of Bonfire Studios. Based out of Dallas, Texas, the 35-person studio is working on a new game which they hope to announce in the coming months.
“Ensemble had an incredible group of highly talented people and the companies coming out of it are really made up of the best of the best. Ensemble was one of the few studios with two A-teams,” said Bonfire Studios CEO David Rippy, who most recently served as producer at Ensemble.
Following Microsoft’s closure of Age of Empires developer Ensemble Studios, Tony Goodman – co-founder of the RTS boutique – has formed a new studio called Robot Entertainment.
While a portion of Ensemble’s team remains at Microsoft to finish up and support Halo Wars, many have moved on and joined Goodman at the new studio.
No word was offered on what sort of projects the studio would work on, but more RTS goodness is expected from them.
