Midway has announced the decision to combine its Southern California studios to better support its TNA iMPACT! franchise. Midway Studios - Los Angeles will be closed with staff offered the chance to move to Midway Home Entertainment in San Diego.

Combining the locations will allow the TNA iMPACT! development team to further leverage synergies with Midway’s other development studios in Chicago, Austin, Seattle, and Newcastle, UK, and work in close conjunction with the third-party production, licensing, and quality assurance groups that are currently in San Diego. In addition, the San Diego area has a strong interactive entertainment talent base that will greatly help fuel Midway’s future growth.

Midway expects the move to be complete by September 30, 2008.

I would have never guessed that TNA iMPACT! was worth having the staff relocate, or face a 2 hour one way commute to work. I guess wrestling is more popular than I thought. Then again, I do enjoy Rumble Roses.
