Epic Games announced the opening of its newest studio located in Cologne, Germany, led by the founders of Factor 5, creators of the Turrican and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron franchises

Epic Games Cologne is joined by F5’s principal members and serves as part of the company’s expanding focus on emerging forms of interactive media and streaming technologies.

Prior to joining Epic, the Factor 5 team, including Epic Games Director of Online Technology Julian Eggebrecht and Cologne Studio Director Achim Moller, has been on the forefront of media delivery, working with Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, as well as serving as technology partners for both Nintendo and Sony.
