Turtle Rock Studios, the group responsible for the creation and much of the development of Left 4 Dead, has āgot the band back togetherā after shifting away from Valveās ownership and will be releasing its next game for publisher THQ.
Having worked with Valve for years, first on the Xbox version of Counter-Strike and then Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock was first acquired by Valve, renamed Valve South and then, after some staff movement, quietly justā¦faded away into the night as Valveās main studio worked on Left 4 Dead 2 by its lonesome.
Well, now much of the original staff is back at a revamped Turtle Rock, and THQ has picked up the publishing rights to its new, major title currently slated for a 2013 release.
Itās some kind of multiplayer game, and is being shown at E3, so you wonāt have much longer to find out exactly what it is.
