Remember last year when we talked about how Daybreak would likely be splitting off its properties into separate studios? They’ve done that. Daybreak today announced its “Franchise First” initiative, establishing three new studios; Dimensional Ink Games, Darkpaw Games and Rogue Planet Games. Dimensional Ink will be captained by Jack Emmert and continue work on DC Universe Online, Darkpaw Games of course will handle the Everquest titles and be helmed by MMO Fallout patron saint Holly Longdale, and finally Rogue Planet Games will have control over Planetside 2 under Andy Sites.

“By allowing the identities of each of these studios to thrive under their individual studios, each team will have the flexibility to continue their work developing current and upcoming games, recruiting new talent and building upon the legacy of their respective franchises.”

The news gives a little tease into what Daybreak has been working on, as Dimensional Ink Games is working on a high profile action MMO starting this year, Darkpaw has something in the works, and Rogue Planet is working on a “genre-defining” game for fans of shooters. Marvel MMO, Everquest 3, and Planetside 3 when? Only time will tell.

Notably absent from this announcement is H1Z1 or Z1 Battle Royale.
