CCP Newcastle Will Focus On Console Based Development

Richard Smith, technical director of CCP Newcastle has confirmed the Newcastle studio will focus on console development for the studio's upcoming title, Dust 514:

"The decision to establish a UK studio was an easy one for CCP. The North East has a distinguished heritage of game development, an experienced console-development talent pool and local universities producing exceptional graduates."

"We have been able to assemble a world-class team of console developers with unparalleled Unreal Engine expertise and integrate them with CCP’s global organisation."
