Halo veterans join to form Tyrant Studios

With a resume that rivals the length of Webster's Dictionary (fourth edition), Halo alums Hardy LeBel and Anders Hejdenberg have decided to branch off and create their own tyrannical development house in Seattle, Tyrant Studios.

Like we said, both LeBel and Hejdenberg spew industry experience with LeBel previously working with Bungie on projects including Halo, Halo 2 and Oni (instant street cred right there). But that isn't all, LeBel also carries development experience with a hand in games like Vigilante 8, Jade Empire, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, SOCOM 3 and the list goes on and on. Oh, did we mention that their seven employees also back a diverse industry resume including work on games like Viva Piñata: Party Animals, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Midnight Club 2 and Crimson Skies for the PC. With a team this talented, Tyrant Studios shouldn't have any problem churning out a solid game and, from the teaser image on their website, their first project looks to be some sort of extreme action sports experience titled ESP. Go get 'em Halo alums, we know you'll do team Bungie proud.
