\n The founders of U.K.-based mobile game<\/a>s studio Playdemic, known for the\u00a0Golf Clash<\/em>\u00a0franchise, have unveiled ForthStar, a new mobile free-to-play game studio based in Manchester.

\n The reveal of the studio\u2019s first game is \u201cmore than a year away,\u201d the company said on Monday. It added that the founders have been \u201cjoined by many of the key figures from Playdemic who helped Golf Clash<\/em> reach more than 150 million installs,\u201d while ForthStar is also actively recruiting further creative and technical talent.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cOur mission is clear; to make great games that millions of people love to play, every day for years,\u201d said ForthStar CEO and co-founder Gouge. \u201cIt\u2019s an objective we have achieved before and one that we
know we can meet again by building exceptional games that captivate millions of players and become
essential daily entertainment.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n Added Rigby: \u201cWe have been fortunate enough to lead and build studios populated by some of the most accomplished and creative talent in our industry. With the opening of ForthStar, we are able to leverage all we\u2019ve learnt in more than two decades of mobile gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Rigby and Gouge founded their first mobile studio BattleMail in 2001, which they sold to (M)Forma in 2002. They then launched Rockpool Games and sold it to Eidos\/Square Enix in 2007 before creating Playdemic.<\/p>\n
