Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella and the former product head of a slot machine maker (WMS), Larry Pacey, are teaming up to form Nuclear Division. If the headline wasn't already a dead giveaway, the new company is called Nuclear Division and it will focus on mobile gaming.

Don't worry too much though, as Zampella will continue on at Respawn Entertainment.
mobile is growing so fast, it’s “silly to ignore,” Zampella said.

“It’s a device that I play on because I always have it with me,” he said. “It always connected. You’re engaged with it. There’s something you can do with that. I’m not saying one is better than the other, in terms of console versus mobile. It’s a different gaming experience. Both interest me.”

Pacey added, “Mobile is where the eyeballs are at.”

Nuclear Division is working on technology for a new platform as well as a couple of games that will take advantage of it.

“We have been talking about what kind of products we would make if we were able to pursue that channel,” Pacey said.

Zampella said, “This is something I believe in very strongly. I look at Larry’s passion and drive, and it syncs up closely with what we want to do. This is a model of gaming that is growing and that I am interested in.”

Nuclear Division isn’t describing its games yet. But it will focus on new opportunities to build community across multiple games. It includes new solutions and services that go beyond being a game studio.

The duo plan on making "things (they) like" and games that are "more for the core gamer."
