38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, is a video game development and publishing company formed by Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling and named for his player jersey number. The company is focused on MMORPGs, which Schilling had previously expressed interest in through Everquest. At the start of spring training in 2007, the company was renamed from Green Monster Games, based on the famous left field wall at Fenway Park, to better give a "...more accurate reflection of what our company is working to achieve".[1]
In 2006, the company leased 30,000 sq ft of office space in downtown Maynard, Massachusetts.[2] President of the company will be Brett Close, formerly of Midway Games and Electronic Arts, and Senior Vice President will be Mary Kirchoff, formerly of Wizards of the Coast.[3]
[edit] First Game
The company's first game is in development with Todd McFarlane as art director and author R.A. Salvatore as the creative director. There have been no release details yet.
