New Lionhead Studios boss chosen

Peter Molyneux was the previous CEO of Lionhead Studios before leaving to form 22 Cans last year and releasing Curiosity - What's inside the Cube. Now the head new head of Lionhead studios is John Needham. Needham is known for being the CEO of Cryptic Studios for about 3 years and CEO at Gazillio Entertainment for almost 2 years.

Needham started in an interview with MCV that "This is a historic time in our industry and I’m excited, and honoured, to be joining Lionhead and Microsoft Studios…Our vision is focused on building innovative gaming services and triple-A experiences at Lionhead, and the rest of Microsoft Studios, which take advantage of Microsoft’s incredible hardware and software platforms. Personally, I can’t wait to get started.”

Needham has worked over 12 years in business development of MMOs such as Star Trek Online and Marvel Universe Online. Could a Fable MMO be next?
