  • People Can Fly Splits from Epic Games and Purchases the Bulletstorm IP

    People Can Fly is once again their own, independent company. The studio has split off from Epic Games but not before they purchased the Bulletstorm IP from them.

    In November 2013, People Can Fly was picked up by Epic Games. They were quickly renamed Epic Games Poland and that was that. They worked on Fortnite and Gears of War : Judgment while under the ownership of Epic. Prior to that they worked on Gears of War, Gears of War 2, and the Painkiller franchise.

    The studio issued a small statement on their website.
    Studio director Sebastian Wojciechowski continues to lead People Can Fly. The studio is actively contributing to Unreal Engine 4 and Epic’s upcoming game, Fortnite, and is also using the engine for an entirely new unannounced game.

    Epic Games Founder and CEO Tim Sweeney said, “We’ve been honored to work with this brilliant group of programmers, artists and designers throughout their history: first as a partner using the Unreal Engine, then as a studio within Epic, and now once again as an independent company.”

    “We, as a People Can Fly team, are extremely excited about new possibilities ahead of us,” said Wojciechowski. “We’re going to work on a new game, while continuing to partner with Epic and use UE4. We’re grateful to Tim and the whole Epic team for our long and successful collaboration.”

    I think the big thing we should all take away from this is that OMG THERE MIGHT BE MORE BULLETSTORM COMING!
