Three former developers from THQ’s Volition studio have announced their new studio, Blazing Lizard.

Sandeep Shekar, Jiovanie Velazquez, and Christopher Stockman all worked at Volition during the development of Summoner, The Punisher, and notably, Saints Row. Needless to say, Christopher would place dead-last in a Blazing Lizard “coolest name in the office” competition.

The team is currently working on original downloadable titles for current-generation consoles, and will release more details on August 13. With “original” and “downloadable titles” generally thought of as mutually-exclusive within the industry, we’re expecting big things from a seemingly switched-on bunch. There’s a big hole to fill, that’s for sure.
