Bad Robot Productions' games division, Bad Robot Games, is forming its own in-house game development studio called Bad Robot Games Studio led by Left 4 Dead creator Michael Booth. Bad Robot is a film and TV production company formed by J.J. Abrams, which formed a games division in 2018 with funding from Tencent and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The new split of Bad Robot Games will be made up of two teams: in-house development team Bad Robot Games Studio, and a creative co-development team that works with external partners. Booth will join in the role of general manager following a stint as social VR director for Facebook. He is also the founder of Turtle Rock Studios and has worked at Valve, Blizzard, and EA, though he is perhaps best-known as the creator and designer of Left 4 Dead.
