"For years, our fans have been asking us when will we start making games. Very soon they are going to get it - and then some!"Futuremark Games Studio's mission statement is to produce original world class games and they say the game engine for their first game has already been under development for two years.
Over the past 10 years Futuremark's team of brilliant artists and engineers has created remarkably beautiful demos and benchmarks for a variety of clients to show off the abilities of their platforms. Although the new studio will demonstrate its ability to seamlessly integrate the latest technologies into its engines, its mission is to build world class games that bring new and entertaining game play to gamers.
