Introversion has begun the search for the perfect publishing partner for the DS version of its classic, Wargames-inspired strategy title, DEFCON!
20th April 2009 – London, England. The UK’s favourite indie developer today announced it has regained all rights to the finished DS SKU of its critically-acclaimed DEFCON franchise.
As yet unpublished, the DS version was originally developed in conjunction with troubled distributor, Pinnacle.
Introversion anticipates considerable interest in the title, given the astonishing success of the DS hardware range worldwide.
“With the DSi flying off the shelves recently, we believe that there will be particular interest in a finished DS product with such a great track record, especially as the RTS/Strategy sector is so poorly served on the platform,“ said Mark Morris, Director at Introversion.
