PHOENIX, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Video game industry veterans Nick Koziupa, Brian Westergaard, and Dave Eberly have announced the launch of Azo Studios. The studio plans to develop video game titles and middleware solutions for console systems, personal computers, and handheld devices.

"We are committed to building mutually beneficial relationships throughout the entertainment industry in order to provide high quality gaming experiences for a global audience," said Nick Koziupa, Azo Studios' president.

The studio's founding members bring extensive management, leadership, and production experience to the team. For over a decade, each has contributed to the development of critically acclaimed and commercially successful titles delivered across multiple video game platforms.

Eberly's background lends a distinct technology advantage to the studio.
