Epic hires former WB Games Seattle manager to lead Seattle studio

Laura Fryer, previously general manager of WB Games Seattle, will now serve the same role for Epic’s new Seattle studio, the company has announced. Prior to her time at Warner Bros, where she oversaw studios like Monolith, Fryer also worked for Microsoft Game Studios (now simply Microsoft Studios), and was “a founding member of the Xbox project.”

This won’t be the first time Fryer has worked with Epic. While at Microsoft, she served as executive producer on both Gears of War and Gears of War 2.

Epic’s Seattle studio, as yet still unnamed, was launched last month. Its primary focus, initially, revolves around “engineering efforts” for Unreal Engine 4. As of this writing, it appears the studio is still hiring, with several active job listings still available on Epic’s careers site.Continue reading Epic hires former WB Games Seattle manager to lead Seattle studioEpic hires former WB Games Seattle manager to lead Seattle studio originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:00:00 EST.
