Bad Robot and Tencent Formally Announce Bad Robot Games

It appears J.J. Abrams and company are looking to expand into interactive media as his production company and Tencent have formed a new partnership in Bad Robot Games. The company will have WBIE as a minor stakeholder as the new venture will be creating games for PC, console, and mobile devices. There are no projects announced at this time, only that the company now exists with Dave Baronoff as the studio head.

Below is a quote from Abrams from this morning's press release on the new company and Baronoff as a leader. This is actually a pretty cool idea that we're surprised the company didn't do sooner.

"I'm a massive games fan, and increasingly envious of the amazing tools developers get to work with, and the worlds they get to play in. Now we are doubling down on our commitment to the space with a unique co-development approach to game making that allows us to focus on what we do best, and hopefully be a meaningful multiplier to our developer partners," said Abrams. "Dave's creativity, deep passion and skillful leadership will be incredibly valuable as we harness our partner Tencent's expertise, experience and reach to bring our games to audiences around the world."
