After the closure of Volition (Saints Row), former employees have created Shapeshifter Games

Last August, we learned of the closure of Volition (https://news.instant-gaming.com/en/articles/2717-volition-the-studio-behind-saints-row-closes-its-doors), the studio behind the Saints Row license. The firm's former developers recently founded a new company called Shapeshifter Games.

In its description on LinkedIn, the new studio based in Champaign, Illinois, USA, states that it has between 11 and 50 employees. The team's goal is "to collaborate with world-renowned developers and publishers to create AAA games."
