Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Team Relocates

Sony has announced that the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes development team has been moved from Carlsbad to SOE’s San Diego offices.

The Vanguard development team is relocating its offices to SOE’s San Diego campus effective Monday, October 15, 2007. As part of the integration into the SOE family, the developers will benefit from having access to shared resources and the combined experience of SOE’s other game development teams. As a result, not every Carlsbad employee has been invited to stay with the development team.

Under the new leadership of Thom Terrazas, an eight-year SOE veteran, SOE will continue its commitment to Vanguard and its players. The remaining Vanguard team members are going to continue to deliver on an exceptional product. They are a creative force in the online games space and we look forward to continuing the vision for Vanguard and to continue to deliver groundbreaking game play. SOE remains committed to seeing Vanguard grow and prosper.

Benefit from having access to shared resources? For those that still have a job, there’s also the “benefit” of having to sell their homes, find a new one to purchase, and transfer their kids to a new school.
