Criterion Games is better known for Burnout these days, but at one point they also developed a very good first-person shooter in Black. Senior designer Stuart Black has since moved on, and is now teaming up with Codemasters to work on another FPS.

No details yet, but Computer and Video Games is reporting that the team will be 80 people strong, and will include Split/Second senior producer Andrew Wilson. It will utilize the Codemasters Ego Engine, which last powered Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

"Codemasters' Guildford Studio is key to our overall development strategy and this year has opened further positions across its design, programming and art teams," Codemasters vice president of development Gavin Cheshire said.
