Many have been wondering what would become of Ensemble Studios' workforce once the company closed its doors.  Well, former Ensemble developer Dusty Monk is wasting no time jumping back in the game.

Monk started Windstorm Studios after leaving Ensemble, and he's excited about the uncertain future.  The new game studio's official website reflects an eager sentiment:

"Windstorm Studios is an independent game studio whose mission is to bring a new era to online gaming! Are you tired of online games filled with depressing predictions of post apocalyptic destruction? Are you weary of walking through grey streets beneath grey skies and killing grey zombies? Have you had your fill of dank cellars and dark caves? Well so have we!"

"And we’re ready to build a brighter world! A better online game - a game with the promise of of a hopeful future -- cities of glass and steel, and most importantly, flying cars!"

Sources suggest Windstorm is already working on some mystery project, but that's about all we know right now.
