New studio Echohead Games wants to "twist the AAA landscape"

Formed by Scribblenauts lead designer Matt Cox

New studio Echohead Games launched today, headed up by Scribblenauts lead designer Matt Cox.

"I love to take calculated risks with twists that appeal to both my mainstream nerves as well as my indie instincts. I love designing core gameplay that can be fun in its simplicity, but has the depth to hook my hardcore side," he said.

"I find games like Her Story, Rocket League, and Rise of the Tomb Raider profoundly inspiring for very different reasons. I want Echohead to be known for twisting the AAA landscape as well as venturing into completely uncharted territory with more experimental games."

The studio is based in Kansas and formed in December. Cox takes the role of creative director at the studio and according to its Facebook page its currently in "pre-production with our first title and are in talks with a few publishers to launch a second." It also put out a call for investors.
