Former People Can Fly founders Adrian Chmielarz, Andrzej Poznanski and Michal Kosieradzki have formed a new indie studio called The Astronauts. The ex-Bulletstorm developers licensed Epic's Unreal Engine 3 for its first unannounced game, which is set for release sometime in 2013. There's no word yet which platforms the team is developing for.
Chmielarz called the decision to use Unreal a "no-brainer" given the team's six-year history working with the engine, and says "we are on a quest to map uncharted waters, and Epic’s tech provides the stability required for success."
Chmielarz, Pozanski, and Kosieradzki left People Can Fly around the time Epic acquired the studio in August.
It's also interesting that The Astronauts have not licensed the use of Epic's Unreal Engine 4, which powers Fortnite. The possibilities for what the game could be range from high-end PCs, consoles, all the way to mobile, as UE3 is what powers the Infinity Blade series.
