Microsoft creates new first-party studio for "core" games

MGS Vancouver is building a world-class development team in Vancouver, BC, Canada, dedicated to making games for "core" gamers. Our mission is to push the limits of proven and unexplored game development and show the world what's possible on Microsoft's game consoles

We're fortunate at MGS Vancouver to be able to leverage technology and experience from other proven teams and projects within Microsoft Game Studios. Our sister studios in the first-party core gaming space include Lionhead, Rare, Turn 10, and 343 Industries. We also often share resources and knowledge with BigPark Studios, another MGS studio located in downtown Vancouver. Our team is able to take advantage of development support and best practices on Microsoft platforms such as Xbox 360, Xbox Live, and Kinect.

Found out a little more info on this new studio, it's called Zipline Studios.
