3DMark Creators Found Game Studio
The work will occur within the newly-formed Futuremark Game Studios group, which has already begun started on its first title, an untitled PC game. The company noted that its games will feature the "latest technologies," but vows they will be able to run on "modest platforms."
Founded in 1997, the company now known as Futuremark was created by Max Payne developer Remedy Entertainment. While Remedy has continued to develop and release titles in the time since, with the upcoming Alan Wake (PC, X360) being its latest project, Futuremark has only focused on its benchmark tools.
"Futuremark Games Studio is committed to developing original IP games with the highest quality game play combined with our established track record of creating blow-your-socks-off visuals," said Futuremark CEO Tero Sarkkinen. "For years, our fans have been asking us when will we start making games. Very soon they are going to get it--and then some!"
