J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot has been instrumental in more than a few of the world's most well-known movie properties including Star Wars, Star Trek and Mission Impossible. In a new announcement made late yesterday afternoon, Abrams announced that Bad Robots Games has been formed as a separate division and that it will work in partnership with both Tencent and Warner Bros. Interactive.

The games division will be led by Dave Baronoff who has been charged with content creation at Bad Robot since 2006.

I’m a massive games fan, and increasingly envious of the amazing tools developers get to work with, and the worlds they get to play in. Now we are doubling down on our commitment to the space with a unique co-development approach to game making that allows us to focus on what we do best, and hopefully be a meaningful multiplier to our developer partners. Dave’s creativity, deep passion and skillful leadership will be incredibly valuable as we harness our partner Tencent’s expertise, experience and reach to bring our games to audiences around the world.

What type of games do you think Bad Robot will be making? Movie tie-in games? Something new or different?
