True Games Interactive today announced a new partnership with Petroglyph. The two companies will work together to create a free-to-play micro-transaction based online game for PC. True Games will operate the game in the U.S. while working with foreign publishers to localize the game for other major territories.
"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."
"Many Free-to-Play games on the market today have already launched in other territories giving the U.S. market little to no input into the development and features," said Bob Drobish, Chief Operating Officer at True Games Interactive. "This product will be a true cohesive effort between the development and publishing teams and we have total faith it will produce a high-quality product."
