Battalion 1944 developer making something new for Square Enix

A new front.

Bulkhead Interactive, the Derby-based studio behind Battalion 1944 and The Turing Test, is now making a brand new game for Square Enix.

Square Enix is already working with the studio to publish Kickstarter success Battalion 1944 in early 2019, after the WW2 shooter rounds out its current Early Access period, which has lasted most of the year.

This new deal sees Square Enix also become a 20 per cent shareholder in the studio.

Back in July, Bulkhead bulked up by opening a second studio in Munich - named Bulkhead Darkhorse. The original Derby office is now named Bulkhead Phoenix. With Battalion still a going concern and this new IP in the pipeline, it makes sense the company is now operating two separate locations.

Square Enix already has its Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, Life is Strange and upcoming Marvel projects in the works. It'll be interesting to see what Bulkhead is building to fit in the publisher's stable.

So they're making a good call of doooty game.

Probably an attempt to suckle at the teet of Battle Royal.

Not quite sour yet.

I am not even mad. I can’t blame them for wanting a piece of the Shooter pie.

I can only hope their game doesn’t suck like fortnite/pubg and other similar games.

Battalion 1944 actually looks pretty good, mechanically speaking. I wasn't expecting that.

Seriously: pump some money into a good shooter.

Battalion 1944 was low-budget all around and it showed.

unless they are adding SP. i have no interest at all. its been while since we have seen good SP WW2 game.

althought multiple marvel project i hope one of them is Punisher FPS game by people can fly since square enix are working with them on AAA FPS. other is obviously Avengers infinity war the video game.

Dating ?

Not interested in anything about it yet but will wait and see what actually comes from this to see if it will be something I’ll enjoy.
