Ex-Age of Empire studio working on a new title!

After the "death" of Ensemble Studios, it got "renamed" and moved to a developer called Robot Entertainment.


They have taken care of Age of Empires 3 and Halo Wars after the launch of the games.
And now they are developing a game with Microsoft Game Studios, called "Project-S" so far.
The first thought was a Halo RTS was being made with the Spartans.

But as it seems, the game is really a Spartan from the past.

"It's not Halo. The game's other codename, Spartan, appears to be its actual name (at least for now), with the splash screen showing a cute little Greek warrior. As for what type of game it is, that we don't know; the original reports said it was a "ground-breaking strategy game", though from the load-up sequence terminology - which has quests, units and crafting - we could guess it's got some RPG elements to it as well."



An RTS with RPG elements? Age of Empires going back to its roots? SIGN ME UP!!!

I love anything to do with Spartan or Roman times i.e Spartacus, 300, Gladiator etc. And games based in that era always appeal to me.

Hopefully if it is an RTS/RPG they port it to the 360. Even if its dumbed down.

I'm guessing it won't be on 360.

Damn,I was hoping for a Halo Wars 2.Esemble had a cliff hanger on the Halo Wars ending(beat the game on legendary to see) and even had an achievment call "Ready for the Sequel".

Halo>Cartoonish spartan

This has nothing to do with Halo. Why do you bring Halo into every thread?

Hopefully they make a new Age of Empires I still play 2 and 3

Esemble created Halo Wars.I am saying that they should have continued with Halo wars then this game they just announced.Read the thread

^yeah, but they're famous for AOE. Plus, 343 Studios are probably working on H wars in the future anyways.

*Sigh* thats not what the thread is about, is it? And this is a pointless argument because none of us are gonna change what we are thinking.

And on a side note, bungie made Myst? Did not know that...

Really would like them to make Halo Wars 2 because I think theres a lot of potential in that series.

Well it clearly does because Ensemble are the people who made Halo Wars and it was still quite a successful and praised game. I don't see why they wouldn't want to make another one.

*Even deeper sigh*

Ensemble is gone, they "mysteriously disappeared" when Bungie told Microsoft they did not like Halo being passed around to more then one dev.

I know that but this new studio is basically Ensemble with a different name.

Its "basically" Ensamble, but not exactly Ensemble. So technically they arent the makes of Halo Wars *cough* HellJumper *cough*

I think he meant Myth, not Myst.
