What about Incognito?
Dylan Jobe announced today that he has started a new studio: LightBox Interactive. Below is the press release.
Dylan also reported being locked into a multi-year, multi-title partnership with Sony. So we look forward to more awesome games Dylan! But what will happen to Incognito? Who knows…perhaps just an empty shell of a name is left.

so no warhawk 2?
I think Sony onws the Warhawk IP so they can get whatever studio to make the next Warhawk.
Oh yeah and Congrats to Dylon Jobe and company!
Cool. I hope we see some great games come from the new studio.
I bet that Lightbox will continue to provide the support since nearly 100% of the team is there and they have an exclusive deal with Sony…

“Earlier this morning, Dylan Jobe revealed that “he and other members of Incognito entertainment have left the company to form their own studio.” The studio will be called Lightbox Interactive and they plan to produce several new titles for Sony Computer Entertainment of America within the “PlayStation family of platforms,” as Incognito always did. For a brief history lesson, you should know that Incognito was founded about a decade ago with both Scott Campbell and David Jaffe, who recently left in 2007 to co-found their own studio, Eat Sleep Play. Long-time industry fans should recognize Incognito for their Twisted Metal efforts, and current fans who still love to play Warhawk will congratulate Incognito for their PS3 effort. Evidently, this transition from Incognito to Lightbox has been in the works for almost a year, and nobody lost their job during the switch. However, the studio will relocate to Austin, Texas this fall, which is when they’ll officially open their doors to begin work on their new projects (whatever they may be). Perhaps they’ll try an offline Warhawk sequel…?
If you want to check out the official Lightbox site, feel free. We really can’t wait to hear what these guys have in store for us; whatever it is, you can bet it’s going to be a PS3 or PSP exclusive – as indicated above – and knowing the minds involved, you should be pretty darn excited.”
Good Luck on your new adventure.
