GrabitMagazine had the chance to ask 11-Bit Studios about signing Lead Gameplay Designer Maciej Szcześnik, and Gameplay Producer Marek Ziemak.

What do you think securing such notable talent says about 11 Bit Studios and its future projects?

I believe the games we make are really well polished and original enough to prove 11 bit studios is a decent developer. Now, we want to go to another level and expand, which is possible - among other thing - thanks to these two guys. I'm sure they will have an impact on what we are currently working on, but what's most important here is that we need creative people and they needed space to free their creativity. This is where we meet perfectly. But I wouldn't say now we're going to develop MMORPG.

These developers bring experience from epic choice-driven third-person RPGs to the studio; were they brought on specifically to work on a new IP or will they be driving the Anomaly brand further?

Maciej and Marek have over 15 years of experience working for CD Projekt combined. However, what people don't know is that they worked on some indie games too and their experience is based not only on AAA RPGs. We gave them creative freedom and a chance to work on different games, which is what they were looking for. Maciej is already working on a new IP. Marek is doing something a little bit different, but we have to keep it a secret for now.
More information.
