ZeniMax Acquires Another Studio

ZeniMax Media, the owner of Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, Arkane Studios and Tango Gameworks has just picked up another development studio to add to their burgeoning family.

The latest acquisition is MachineGames. You probably haven't heard of MachineGames, but it was started by the founders of Starbreeze Studios, who you probably have heard mentioned before. Starbreeze created The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher’s Bay and The Darkness .

While we don't know what MachineGames is working on just yet, we do know that they have an unannounced project being built with the iD5 engine going on in a secret lab somewhere in Europe. Well, it might not actually be secret and more specifically they're based in Sweden.

It should be interesting to see what this new company creates with those intriguing titles under their belts from their former studio.
