Hitman Veterans Leave IO, Form Reto-Moto
by Chris Faylor, Apr 14, 2008 2:05pm PDTA number of IO Interactive co-founders have left the Eidos-owned Hitman, Freedom Fighter and Kane & Lynch developer to form a new studio under the name of Reto-Moto.
No projects have been announced, though the company noted it is "committed to redefining the online multi-player space."
Among the company's staff are Hitman director Jacob Andersen, previous IO VP David Guldbrandsen, former lead character designer Jesper Vorsholt Jorgensen, and old sound engineering lead Martin Pollas. All were co-founders of IO Interactive.
The four are joined by Neil Donnell, who served as an executive producer at Eidos Interactive.
Originally founded in 1997, Reto-Moto's first act was to create IO Interactive in a joint-venture with Nordisk Film. Publisher Eidos acquired IO in 2004.
