A few months ago, we had reported that the forthcoming first person shooter, Legendary: The Box would be published by Gamecock. Now Atari has sent word that they have gotten into a deal with the Gamecock Media Group, which will allow them to co-publish the Legendary: The Box in PAL territories.
Harry Miller is the El Presidente and Head of Development, Gamecock Media Group. He explains, “Gamecock is very proud to be working with Atari on this project, utilizing their massive distribution network in the PAL territories to make this game as big a hit outside the US as it will be inside.”
Mathias Hautefort, Executive VP, Publishing & Production, Atari says, “Gamecock have already established themselves as a serious new force to be reckoned with in video games, and we’re proud and excited to be entering into this agreement with them to co-publish such an original and excellent quality product as Legendary: The Box. The agreement marks another positive step forward for Atari in bringing original and high quality interactive entertainment to the market.”
Craig Allen, CEO, Spark Unlimited comments, “Our goal at Spark has been to create high-quality innovative titles that deliver exceptionally realistic and cinematic gaming experiences. We are excited to welcome Atari as a co-publisher in order to insure Legendary: The Box becomes a global success.”
Legendary: The Box is being developed by Spark Unlimited, which has been founded by the same people who have worked on blockbuster first person shooters such as Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The game is expected to be out in summer 2008 for PC as well as next-generation consoles.
