Mit dem Wechsel von Sony Computer Entertainment zu Sony Interactive Entertainment wird es wohl auch eine kleine Personaländerung geben. 

Denn Shahid Ahmad, der Director of Strategic Content bei SCEE, hat nun angekündigt, dass er ab sofort bei Double Eleven sein wird. Dabei soll er dabei helfen, dass der Konzern sich nach und nach neben der Entwicklung auch zu einem großen Publisher-Haus entwickelt. Derzeit arbeitet Double Eleven neben unbekannten Projekten noch an der Konsolen-Portierung von Prison Architect. Im Folgenden findet ihr O-Töne von Shahid Ahmad und Mark South, dem COO von Double Eleven, zu dem Wechsel von Sony zu dem Indie-Studio:

Mark South, COO at Double Eleven

„Shahid’s incredible insight and background in the arena of independent development and publishing is overwhelmingly beneficial to Double Eleven; we’re so pleased to welcome him to our advisory board. Shahid’s role in elevating independent games as a whole to the mainstream audience is remarkable, so it’s a great honor to have his guidance as Double Eleven continues to grow in the games space. Equally, and more personally, he is one of the hardest working people I know and his character has shown integrity and honesty throughout. I’m both proud and honoured that we’re able to work together.”

Shahid Ahmad

„I’m honoured to be invited to Double Eleven’s Advisory Board. Having worked with the Double Eleven team on numerous projects while at PlayStation, I was struck by their technical excellence, their commitment to quality and their devotion to delivering great experiences to video games players. Double Eleven are relentlessly driven and their many excellent qualities will I’m sure propel them to greater success as they expand their publishing ambitions.”
