Activision Blizzard to launch new Sledgehammer Games dev studio

While Activision Blizzard has experienced some downsizing in the past few months (reducing the size of Raven Software and shutting down Shaba Games) the publisher apparently feels that sometimes you need to expand as well. Today the company officially announced the launch of their new Sledgehammer Games dev studio in Foster City, California.

While we wish the studio's first game was going to be a revival of the great Sledge Hammer! TV show, we doubt that will happen. The studio is headed up by Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey who previously were the main leaders at EA's Visceral Games studio. Naturally there's no word yet on what game the new studio is working on.
