Pandemic Studios Australia Creates 2nd Development Team

Pandemic Studios announced today the creation of a 2nd development team at its Brisbane, Australia studios. Pandemic is poised to build on the success of its Australian operation, which has grown over its six year history from a dozen to nearly one hundred employees.

"Pandemic's Brisbane studio has enjoyed great success with the Destroy All Humans! series and we are excited to build on our tremendous base of Australian talent with the addition of a second team," said Josh Resnick, president of Pandemic Studios. "With the release of Destroy All Humans! 2, our Brisbane studio is now turning its attention to the development of brand new titles for next-generation gaming systems."

To coincide with the retail release of Destroy All Humans! 2, Pandemic Studios also launched the Pandemic World News Web site. The site is a tongue-in-cheek alien conspiracy tabloid newspaper written by the game's two lead writers. The community forums will feature frequent opportunities for fans of the game to interact directly with some of their favorite characters like Orthopox, Natalya, and of course, Crypto!

"The Brisbane studio had a blast creating Destroy All Humans! 2 and we're looking forward to delivering the same unique Pandemic flavor to our fans in future games," said John Passfield, creative director on Destroy All Humans! 2. "Giving fans the freedom to play the game their way is what we do best. The only limits to game-play are the gamers' imagination."
