Paulina Bozek, executive producer and game director for the Singstar series, one of the greatest casual success stories in Europe with more than 15 million sold copies, leaves Sony to join Atari. Bozek will head up a new Atari studio in London focused "on innovating and developing mass-market consumer games and services for online-enabled devices including Personal Computers and game consoles".
"I am very excited to be joining Atari at this pivotal time for both the company and the industry," said Paulina Bozek. "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 realising that vision in new products and services."
This move is obviously orchestrated by the former Sony boss Phil Harrison who joined Atari earlier this year. It will be interesting to see if Harrison and Bozek can achieve the same success at Atari as they did at SCEE.
