Gameloft has opened up a new studio in Seattle, headed up by Michael Fitch.

“Our vision for this studio is to create a higher standard for the intersection of online, competitive, and socially integrated games,” Fitch said, in part. “The mobile platform brings unique opportunities with its always-available experiences. We look forward to bringing great games to market.”

Prior to joining Gameloft in August, Fitch founded games consultancy Better Realities and also spent four years as director of creative management with THQ.
