AWN reports that acclaimed developers Mark Pacini, Todd Keller, and Jack Mathews have just opened the doors to their new studio in Austin Texas.  After winning renown in the gaming world for their work on the  METROID PRIME series, they have turned their attention to making an independent studio to create new properties for external developers.

“We are very excited about trying to rethink how games are developed for this generation of consoles, and our partners at EA have been nothing but supportive in this pursuit,” said Mark Pacini, co-founder of Armature Studio. “What really gets me going is that now, no platform is off limits. That is just something we didn’t have the ability to do before.”

Armature Studio is now accepting applications.  For more info go to www.armature.com.
