On a somewhat related note, Ex-InfinityWard employees have found a new home!

The Monday morning news announcing the new company follows a Friday that saw Activision, the mega-publisher that fired Jason West and Vince Zampella from their leadership positions at Modern Warfare development studio Infinity Ward, suing the ousted creators. Activision has accused the duo of misdeeds and subterfuge designed as an alleged attempt to “steal the studio.”West and Zampella had sued Activison a month prior following their dismissal from their perches atop Activision-owned Infinity Ward.

But today the two creators are announcing a new company and an exclusive publishing deal with Activision rival Electronic Arts. The new company, based in Encino, California, will make games for the EA Partners label, an arrangement that means it will remain an independent company from EA. West and Zampella’s former studio, Infinity Ward, remains wholly owned by Activision.

They say they don’t even know what their next game will be yet. But the former lead men behind Modern Warfare 2 tell others that their new company, Respawn Entertainment, will make something big that won’t be “exploited.”

I can’t wait to see what they throw in activisions face!
