Halo developer joins forces with Activision30 April 2010 15:11:06

Halo developer Bungie could soon be making a brand-new game for Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, following the announcement that it has joined forces with Activision-Blizzard.

Halo was exclusive to Xbox 360 in the console space, but Activision is well-known for its multi-platform approach, meaning that whatever Bungie is working on could make its way to both consoles.

The companies announced they had signed a ten-year partnership to bring out Bungie's next major action franchise, with Activision responsible for worldwide publishing and distribution.

Harold Ryan, president of Bungie, said: "We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise.

"From working together of the past nine months on this agreement, it is clear that Activision supports our commitment to giving our fans the best possible gaming experiences."

Activision-Blizzard is one of the largest games publishers in the world, with a library of franchises that includes Call of Duty, Guitar Hero and World of Warcraft. ADNFCR-2752-ID-19753422-ADNFCR
