Double Eleven Signs Exclusivity Deal With Sony

Archive: 10 posts


Sony have just let TheSixthAxis know that Double Eleven, the studio behind upcoming PS Vita game LittleBigPlanet, have signed an exclusivity deal with the publisher.

?Double Eleven are one of the brightest new UK development studios,? says the press release, ?having been formed by former Rockstar Leeds lead-engineers in 2010. Double Eleven were recently revealed as the architects behind the technology driving LittleBigPlanet on PS VITA at the recent E3 in Los Angeles.?

Double Eleven will continue to work on LBP, but will then start to develop new games for all Sony platforms.

Lee Hutchinson, CEO at Double Eleven said that the signing was ?a testament to the hard work of all the exceptional team? and ?the opportunity to work so closely with Sony is simply fantastic.?

Well they working exclusivity for sony now thanx to work on LBP vita, sound like they going to do something new but work some LBP vita stuff as well? anyway good new for them.

they start as EX Rockstars leeds and they did say they was going to make game for iPhone


“Rockstar Leeds and the spouse allegations had no effect on our decisions to leave,” said Hutchinson, responding to a question about negative labor relations at Rockstar studios to Develop. “I’m very good friends with the team. Me and Matt announced we were leaving under very good terms.”

This move, says Hutchinson, has much to do with a creative backlash against the time, money and stress demands of modern titles as anything else. “I think that a lot of developers are sick of huge all encompassing next-gen projects and want to get back to grass-roots bedroom coding like it was in the '80s and is for a lot of iPhone developers today,” said Hutchinson.
