Another team of developers has arisen as a result Ensemble’s closure, this time founded by David Rippy and “former management team members” from Ensemble, while the team is staffed entirely with former members of the legendary strategy developer. David Rippy, formerly a lead producer at Ensemble and now Bonfire’s CEO and president, said:

“Ensemble had an incredible group of highly talented people and the companies coming out of it are really made up of the best of the best. Ensemble was one of the few studios with two A-teams. We are already working on an original IP that we’ll start talking about in the next few months.”

While no real information has been revealed regarding their original intellectual property, they do claim that the game already has “a great in-depth story, combat and game play.” Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard it all before, but these developers probably mean it.

You can visit Bonfire’s website to check them out and, while it may appear at first as though they’re advertising Ensemble games, from Age of Empires to Halo Wars, they’re really just reminding you of their heritage, and well they should!
