Ensemble Studios, developers of the Age of Empires series and Halo Wars, are dead. But the developers who comprised Ensemble? They're still alive, and some of them have formed a new studio.

It's called Robot Entertainment, and has been established by Ensemble co-founder Tony Goodman, along with "a number of veterans" from the former Microsoft-owned studio.

Is this the new studio - the one that will continue work on Halo Wars and other first-party titles - Microsoft spoke about when the Ensemble shuttering was first announced? Certainly looks like it, so we could possibly be looking at the future home of Age of Empires as well.
