Midway Shuts Down L.A. Studio

by Rainier on July 21, 2008 @ 4:29 p.m. PDT

Midway announced it will be combining the operations of Midway Studios in Los Angeles with its San Diego facility. The majority of L.A. studio employees, including the entire development team for Midway’s TNA iMPACT! franchise, are being offered the opportunity to transfer to the San Diego facility.

The newly combined operations will be located at Midway Home Entertainment’s current San Diego facility. The majority of Moorpark employees, including the entire development team for Midway’s TNA iMPACT! franchise, are being offered the opportunity to transfer to the San Diego facility. Midway expects to complete the transition out of the Moorpark facility by September 30, 2008.

Combining the locations will allow the TNA iMPACT! development team to further leverage synergies with Midway’s other development studios in Chicago, Austin, Seattle, and Newcastle, UK, and work in close conjunction with the third-party production, licensing, and quality assurance groups that are currently in San Diego. In addition, the San Diego area has a strong interactive entertainment talent base that will greatly help fuel Midway’s future growth.

As part of this move, Midway expects in the near future to look for new talent in its San Diego studio.
