Having developed the original PC version of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (the Xbox 360 and PS3 editions are now just a week away from release), UK studio Splash Damage has secured its future by signing a deal with Elder Scrolls outfit, Bethesda Softworks.
It's unclear how long the deal will last, however it's being described as a 'long-term development partnership' by both parties.
"Bethesda Softworks has repeatedly been responsible for outstanding games as both publisher and developer." said Paul Wedgwood, Owner and Creative Director of Splash Damage. "Both of our studios share a passion for creating great games, and we're confident that this partnership will result in even greater experiences for gamers. We're really looking forward to working with Bethesda."
"This could not be a more perfect fit," said Vlatko Andonov, President of Bethesda Softworks. "We are extremely impressed with Splash Damage and the quality titles they produce. They are highly creative and innovative, and have demonstrated a high level of dedication to their projects. We are confident that gamers everywhere will be thrilled with the offerings from this collaboration."
Details of the first title to come from the new agreement are expected in the next few months, though given Splash Damages pedigree, don't be too surprised if the gameplay focus is on online multiplayer action.
