Electronic Arts has announced a new studio, Pogo Austin, which will be working from the same offices as EA's Bioware studio.

The new studio – an initial team of 12  - will work on Hasbro properties such as Pictureka! Museum Mayhem which is set to launch online in November at Pogo.com.

"We are thrilled to open a studio in Austin as there is such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable game development community," said Andrew Pedersen, Pogo General Manager. "It's great to be a part of that spirit and I feel privileged to be working with a team full of game makers who bring such tremendous talent and experience to the Pogo team."
