The producer of the Grand Theft Auto series of games has founded five new companies

The former president of Rockstar North Leslie Benzies (Leslie Benzies), after being fired from the developer studio Grand Theft Auto, launched several businesses at once.

Among the companies founded are Royal Circus Games Limited, Starship Group and Everywhere Game Limited. Something specifically is known only about the first one — Royal Circus Games Limited. She will take up the development of video games for PC, consoles and mobile.

Leslie is not going to engage exclusively in games. One of the founded companies is VR-Chitect Limited. Her specialization is the production of headsets, glasses and software for virtual reality.

All companies are based in Edinburgh.

Last year, Benzis was fired from Rockstar North after a vacation. Leslie then sued his native studio and its parent company Take Two Interactive as part of the proceedings, he is trying to sue his former employer for £105 million.

Benzis was the producer of all major Rockstar North projects, starting with Grand Theft Auto III. He was also one of the game designers of Grand Theft Auto V.
