Former Bizarre Creations folks form Hogrocket photo

Out of the ashes of the now defunct Bizarre Creations rises the North West England-based studio Hogrocket.

The tiny studio consists of three former Bizarre Creations folks: Peter Collier, Ben Ward, and Stephen Cakebread. While they're all talented in their own rights, focus here on Cakebread: he created Geometry Wars. (Also, his last name is a combination of two things that are awesome.)

The studio says it will be focusing on creating "high-quality games across multiple platforms, initially targeting iPhone/iPad, PC, and Mac." It's first game is already into production, and while it's not ready to reveal specifics just yet, did I mention that Cakebread created Geometry Wars?

Are my eyes deceiving me, Stephen Cakebread, Geometry Wars, Hogrocket, does not compute. Whatever happened to the rest of Bizarre Creations?

@ exp0d They formed Lucid Games about a month ago.

I've been wondering who owns the Geometry Wars IP. I hope it's Hogrocket.

I can't really say that I was ever crazy about Geometry Wars, but its always good to hear some positive news for the developers after a studio closure.
