Publisher Atari and its parent company Infogrames have been selling off both their game franchises and their development studios over the past few years in an effort to stay afloat. Today the company announced a reverse in that trend with word that Atari will open up a new development studio in London for making mass market games for the PC and other platforms.

The new studio will be headed up by Paulina Bozek, who recently left Sony Playstation. where she helped to create their popular (in Europe) music game franchise SingStar. Bozek is reunited with her former Sony Playstation boss Phil Harrison who took over as President of Atari earlier this year.
