The founders of Guerilla Games, Martin de Ronde and Michiel Mol have decided to found a new games studio Vanguard Entertainment.

Vanguard Entertainment will be formed by merging two studios, Karami and Greed Corp developer W! Games and will focus on bringing the mechanics of games to the console market.

De Ronde explained: "Over the past few years, we have been closely following the rapid rise of social network games, browser based games and new online business models associated with these platforms. We also see that the market for console games forms the heart of our still in terms of revenue and state of the art production values."

He added: "We feel both these market segments will be rapidly converging over the coming years, rather than competing with each other, and with Vanguard we want to be at the forefront of this development. It will be Vanguard's mission to capitalise on the need for new types of online content on consoles, which it will be doing with games based on original IP."
