United Front Games Reveals Activision Partnership

Vancouver studio United Front Games has a new deal with Activision Publishing for its project in development: "an action-based game set in Hong Kong." No other details are available save for the announcement of the publishing agreement. United Front Games formed in 2007, one of the newer studios to emerge from a period of layoffs and relative instability in the Vancouver dev scene. "Over the past two decades our core team has led development of some groundbreaking games, so we have enormous expectations of ourselves," says studio GM Stefan Wessels, boasting former employees of Electronic Arts, Radical Entertainment, Black Box, Action Pants and more among its founders. "We are honored to be working with Activision," adds EP Stephen van der Mescht. "It's exciting to see so much talent come together to unite this new studio and deliver our best work ever."
