Bad Robot Games, the video game division of JJ Abrams’ production banner, has named Tanya Watson COO and President. Watson is a gaming industry vet, who previously worked as an Epic Games executive and served on the original creative team behind Fortnite. She will lead Bad Robots’ team alongside CEO Anna Sweet.
“Bad Robot Games will build on Bad Robot’s DNA of storytelling and world-building and apply the special lens of what makes games and interactivity distinct,” said Watson. “Our publishing organization is rethinking, from the ground up, how to service creators at a time where having a traditional publisher is no longer a prerequisite for success. We are excited to build this alongside game teams to help them bring their vision to life.”
In her new position, Watson will lead Bad Robot Games’ publishing operations as the company launches immersive worlds across a wide range of game genres and platforms. She and her team plan to leverage Bad Robot’s industry veterans, film and TV colleagues, and its extended network of talent to create innovative worlds and stories.
Watson comes to Bad Robot with experience leading large and small teams across numerous gaming platforms. She formerly co-founded Squanch Games with Ricky and Morty co-creator, Justin Roiland. Prior to that, she was an Executive Producer for Epic Games and worked on Gears of War as well as the Unreal Tournament.
