Former staff from Fall Guys maker Mediatonic have founded a brand new studio called Panic Stations. 

The developer is comprised of engineering director Steve Taylor, art and music director Dan Hoang, design director Joe Walsh, social and community vet Oliver Hindle and commercial director Josh Tarrant, all of whom worked on Fall Guys. Meanwhile, founding partner Paul Croft cofounded Mediatonic back in 2005 and commercial partner. 

Panic Stations is working on a physics-based co-op title. The studio is part of the  Skeleton Crew group of developers.  

"I'm a huge fan of the online co-op space and it's been amazing to see it evolve over the last few years," Croft said. 

"It is really exciting to team-up with some old friends - we're aiming to build games that bring immediate joy to players and bring people closer together."

Walsh added: "I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the proverbial band back together and make the silliest possible games we can dream up."
