Recently formed Robot Entertainment has answered the question of who’s going to support Halo Wars after its launch on March 3: the people who made it. Robot — created by ex Ensemble Studios staff, including its founder, Tony Good — will not only provide online support and community management for the Halo universe RTS, but will be working with Microsoft Game Studios to create future content for the game.

Robot will also be working with MGS on the Ensemble-created Age of Empires franchise going forward, with the intent to handle support for current and future titles in the series. In a release issued today, the developer also announced that it has begun work on a new project based on an original IP. Given the various unannounced projects revealed when Ensemble closed its doors, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if this new game isn’t an RTS.

Robot to develop further Halo Wars content, new IP originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:20:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
