Climax Acquires Anthill

The Climax Group is adding a new studio to its line-up with the acquisition of Anthill Studios. Joining Climax Fareham and Climax Brighton, Nottingham-based Anthill will continue operations in its hometown in a new, larger office with additional staff and under the new name Climax Nottingham. The studio's first project for Climax is a multiplayer on-line title based on Games Workshop's Warhammer license. "The formation of the Nottingham office will also benefit the current development of the Games Workshop-licensed Warhammer Online project," said Climax Group President Karl Jeffery, "As Games Workshop's head office is based in Nottingham, it was therefore very beneficial for us to open a studio in the same city."
