Notorious Studios breaks free from World of Warcraft to build its own worlds

Chris Kaleiki worked on World of Warcraft at Blizzard, where he spent years designing and balancing character classes. He even developed the monk for the Mists of Pandaria expansion. Now he has started his own company, Notorious Studios, to capitalize on that experience.

“Ultimately we’re all really world-builders on our team. We like building worlds. That’s what our focus is going to be in our first title,” Kaleiki told GamesBeat. His studio has eight people right now, all also former World of Warcraft team members. Many of them were also in his WoW guild, which was also called Notorious.
