We’ve all been a bit fixated on some other studio break-up antics, but it’s time to give a tip of the hat to Hi-Rez Studios, which is even more accurately named now that it has broken off a new studio in the form of Prophecy Games. This new studio is focused on top-down strategy games and is overseen by Erez Goren, who is also the majority owner and founder of Hi-Rez Studios and retains that position even as he serves as CEO of Prophecy Games.
Hi-Rez Studios made a notable splash back when it first reorganized its games under specific studios dedicated to those games back in 2018, with Paladins, Realm Royale, and SMITE all operating under separate banners while remaining under the overall Hi-Rez umbrella. We got some clarity for the split during the company’s convention in 2018, but it has subsequently been some time without any more changes to the status quo.
We're excited today to announce the spin-off from Hi-Rez Studios of a new Georgia-based gaming studio: Prophecy Games. Erez Goren, Hi-Rez's Founder and Chairman, will lead the new studio, which will focus on top-down strategy games. Full statement below. https://t.co/OVhQ9lg4N8
