God of War creator David Jaffe has joined indie action-game developer Pixelbionic to work on its first title Autoduel, shortly to announce its Kickstarter campaign.
I was super excited when I heard Pixelbionic’s vision for Autoduel,” said Pixelbionic creative advisor David Jaffe. “As a huge fan of the genre, I’m really looking forward to contributing to the game’s vision and design goals.”
Also on the team are pre-console veterans who’ve worked on many titles including The Bard’s Tale (Max Kauffman), Battlezone (Mike Arkin), Interstate ’76 (Scot Kramarich), Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Rafael Paiz), and more.
“Our mission is to assemble a team of car combat visionaries to deliver the game fans want to not only play but also help create,” said Pixelbionic co-founder and President Mike Arkin. “Autoduel pairs the vision of the best talent in the industry with the enthusiasm and support of gamers, a combination we are confident will set the bar for what can be achieved in a new PC vehicular combat game.”
Autoduel is an unlikely focus for such an all-star team, as it’s a PC-only multiplayer car combat game, in the vein of Jaffe’s own Twisted Metal, but most of the developers have worked on similar car combat games in the past.
