Vivendi Universal sub-label Sierra has inked a deal with developer Spark Unlimited, which will see the latter creating a next-gen action game (slated for release in 2007) which the former will publish.
Since Spark Unlimited's previous effort was Call of Duty: Finest Hour, that's definitely something to anticipate fondly. At the moment details of the project are at a premium, although the game will apparently have a more "contemporary" theme than CoD: FH.
Craig Allen, Spark Unlimited's CEO, said: "We couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to work with Vivendi Games and Sierra Entertainment. We share a common creative
vision for this upcoming project, but even more importantly, a desire to deliver a truly unique and incredible game experience." Bland words maybe, but unique and original gameplay is what we crave. As soon as any more details reach our shell-likes, we'll of course, pass them straight on to you.
