Prior to his games work, Baskerville was a 14 year veteran in the comic book field, working as an artist for both DC and Marvel. Lish joins the UK studio from a five year stint working in New York, where he put in time with Take-Two's Gotham Games (Starsky & Hutch), Rockstar Games, and Sony Interactive. First was formed in 2003 and best known for work on casual titles such as EyeToy: Play 3, EyeToy: Play – Sports, SingStar: Rocks, SingStar: Anthems and SingStar: Legends, Kuju's Brighton studio was re-branded as Zoe Mode in March of this year.

With their vision and our talented teams of artists we’re expecting some really outstanding results”.
