J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions Launching Video Division Called Bad Robot Games

J.J. Abrams is notorious for his work in television and movies, with shows such as Lost and movies such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now the acclaimed director is branching out to video games with a new division called Bad Robot Games.

Reported by The Hollywood Reporter the new division will develop and help develop mobile, console, and PC games. In addition, it has partnered with Tencent, a Chinese conglomerate,  to distribute games in Asia markets and Waner Brothers Interactive Entertainment as a minor investor.

In a statement, Abrams explained:

“I’m a massive games fan, and increasingly envious of the amazing tools developers get to work with, and the worlds they get to play in. Now we are doubling down on our commitment to the space with a unique co-development approach to game making that allows us to focus on what we do best, and hopefully be a meaningful multiplier to our developer partners. Dave’s creativity, deep passion and skillful leadership will be incredibly valuable as we harness our partner Tencent’s expertise, experience and reach to bring our games to audiences around the world.”

The division will be headed by Dave Baronoff, who worked with Bad Robot since 2006.
