Here I am reading an email that's gone through the usual pipeline of developer-to-PR rep-to-Chuck-to-Me. The email announces 11 bit studios, which is comprised of some of the folks who made this and this, and also that their debut game will be announced in a week. Well after checking out their official site, I realized that the email was originally written almost a week ago. I don't know what to expect from 11 bit studios, I don't even know why their called 11 bit. I guess it's so they can get that little push past ten.

 
Industry Veterans Launch 11 bit studios
Team Comprised of Former Metropolis Software/CD Projekt Developers Focusing on High-Value, High-Quality, Digitally-Distributed Titles
 
October 7, 2010 – Warsaw, Poland. The formation of 11 bit studios, a Warsaw-based video game developer, was announced today in the Polish capital. Founded by former Metropolis Software/CD Projekt Group staff who’ve set out to carve their own place in the games industry in an independent studio, 11 bit will focus on high-value, high-quality, digitally-distributed games.
 
The team, which has produced games for major publishers including Ubisoft, Atari, Interplay and Monolith, aims to deliver unique and pioneering gameplay experiences for a wide range of platforms, including PC, iPhone, iPad and more. 11 bit’s first title will be unveiled next week.
 
“The games industry is constantly changing, and there is a tremendous opportunity for independent developers to succeed and to push the boundaries of gameplay on digital platforms,” said Grzegorz Miechowski, Managing Director of 11 bit studios. “We’re going to create games that introduce unique gameplay mechanics, carry high production values and are, most importantly, fun for both hardcore gamers and more casual players.”
