True Games Interactive announced today that it’s forming a partnership with developer Petroglyph. The two companies are working together on an upcoming free-to-play micro-transaction based online game for the PC.
The Petroglyph team is best known for its award winning Star Wars®: Empire At War™ and Universe at War™ series, with members also playing a key role in creating the original Command and Conquer™ series, while at Westwood Studios. The founders of Petroglyph elected to break away from Westwood and start the new development studio, utilizing their unique vision, when the rest of the Westwood team was relocated by Electronic Arts.
“The Petroglyph founding team pioneered the Real-Time Strategy genre and they continue to innovate in this segment. It is an honor to partner with them for this game,” said Jeff Lujan, Chief Publishing Officer at True Games Interactive. “Petroglyph is known for high quality RTS games that appeal on a global level, and when combined with True Games’ expertise in the micro-transaction arena we have the recipe for an international blockbuster.”
“The management at True Games has a truly impressive background and knowledge of the
Free-to-Play and micro-transaction based space on a global scale,” said Chuck Kroegel, CEO and General Manager of Petroglyph. “This partnership is a perfect match for us.”
No name or information about this free-to-play online game have been revealed.
