The new studio, based in Hammersmith, London, will focus on the development of mass-market games for online-enabled devices including PCs and consoles.
“I am very excited to be joining Atari at this pivotal time for both the company and the industry,” said Bozek, the award-winning game director of the $500 million grossing, 15 million unit-selling SingStar franchise.
“There is a huge opportunity as gaming platforms become more ubiquitous, more connected and attract more mainstream audiences. Atari has a great vision for the future and I can’t wait to start realizing that vision in new products and services,” she added.
Infogrames president Phil Harrison said, "This is a significant step in expanding Atari's online game development capability. Paulina is one of the industry's most respected creative leaders with an outstanding track-record of commercial and creative success and I'm delighted that she will bring her unique vision, consumer insight and proven ability for creating amazing entertainment experiences to Atari."
