Ignition Entertainment Undergoing A Makeover
Rebranding under parent company UTV Group, Ignition Entertainment (Deadly Premonition) will henceforth be known as UTV Ignition Entertainment. With this shift also comes an increased focus on development for online platforms, according to Gamasutra.
The online push will entail marketing and developing games for online spaces, specifically downloadable venues like Xbox Live, PSN and Steam. Facebook, Google Games, and Apple devices were also noted as potential avenues. Ignition has already moved into the downloadable space with their most recent release, Blacklight: Tango Down.
Hassan Sadiq, a chairman at UTV Ignition, stressed that the industry is changing and evolving, and consumers want more content for their dollar, a fact that has pushed them to publish games at a lower price point. He stressed, however, that consumers will receive the same level of quality as retail package counterparts.
Ignition is currently slated to release the visually stunning El Shaddai, amongst a few other titles. Considering the unique nature of the last few titles Ignition has published (Deadly Premonition, Muramasa: The Demon Blade), we’re excited to see what they do in the digital space.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
