Bethesda Creates New Studio with Former "Human Head Studios" Developers

Human Head Studios recently shuttered its doors, but thankfully this didn’t last long as Bethesda Softworks almost immediately brought the entire team back together to form a new team named Roundhouse Studios.

Human Head Studios were known for a variety of different titles, originally creating the IP Rune in the year 2000, and later going on to develop and release 2006’s Prey (not to be confused with the more recent 2017 Bethesda-published Prey), as well as the recent follow up to Rune aptly titled Rune II.

Roundhouse Studios creative director Chris Rhinehart opened up about the team’s quick turn around with Bethesda, stating “We reached out to our friends at Bethesda for help, and they saw that same creativity and passion in our team. With the formation of Roundhouse Studios, Bethesda offered every employee of Human Head a position at the new company. We are excited our team will remain together, pursuing the work we love, as part of a company we already know and admire.”

While there’s no word on what exactly Roundhouse Studios will be working on, it’s been revealed that they will begin working on new projects immediately.
