Another day, another industry agreement that has us scratching our heads at just what the heck developers are planning for next generation consoles. Today, THQ entered into a deal with Polish developer People Can Fly, with plans to bring currently untitled project to next-gen platforms come fall 2007.
"THQ's strategy is to work with world-class developers to bring highly innovative, original IP to market," explains Dan Kelly, Senior Vice President, Business Development. "It was immediately obvious to us that the team at People Can Fly has great talent and an exciting, innovative idea that supports this strategy."
The 50-person team at People Can Fly made a name for itself with Painkiller, the horror-ific first-person shooter that has graced PCs, is coming to the Xbox, but is yet to wander in PlayStation territory. Hm…
"THQ has always been our publisher of choice and we are delighted to be working with them. They have consistently proven to us that they are able to provide the right environment for a great business partnership," comments Adrian Chmielarz, President, People Can Fly. "Their open, communicative approach to the evaluation, analysis and ultimate signing of this deal has allowed us a great amount of creative flexibility and support for our development process. We look forward to working with them to bring an innovative, genre-defining product to gamers."
Chalk this up as one more untitled project that we will most definitely be keeping you posted on.
