Former DICE employee and EA Easy head Ben Cousins has added some new staff members to ngmoco's Stockholm studio.
Malte Hildingsson, Wille Wintertidh and Torbjorn Lædre, all join the ranks, as announced by Cousins via Twitter.
Dicey
Hildingsson brings experience from Battlefield 3, Need For Speed: The Run, BulletStorm and Mirror's Edge, and takes the position of senior programmer, with Wintertidh (also of Mirror's Edge) taking the role of senior artist.
Lædre also joins as senior programmer, having worked on Battlefield 3, Far Cry 2 and Battlefield 2.
These three will join Cousins, alongside previous hires from Crytek, including its former director Senta Jakobsen and staff Tony Davis and Vesselin Efremov.
The studio's first game is yet to be announced, but will be exclusive to ngmoco's Mobage social mobile platform.
News
When Matt was 7 years old he didn't write to Santa like the other little boys and girls. He wrote to Mario. When the rotund plumber replied, Matt's dedication to a life of gaming was established. Like an otaku David Carradine, he wandered the planet until becoming a writer at Pocket Gamer.
