Sony today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Player X. The mobile games publisher and developer will create titles based on the Buzz! and Destruction Derby franchises. This marks the first time Sony has licensed its own titles to be developed and published for mobile phone by a third-party.
"The creative proposals that came through from Player X were very encouraging and in line with what we are hoping to do with these two licenses," said Michael Denny, Senior Vice President, SCE WWS Europe. "We are looking forward to seeing our games reach new audiences as well as those who are already acquainted with our titles."
"We are delighted to be working with SCE WWS on this," said Tony Pearce, CEO, Player X. "They are hugely enthusiastic about the mobile sector and Buzz! fits in perfectly with our gameshows roster. What's more, everybody knows Destruction Derby is a great racing game. We have huge hopes for both titles."
Buzz! will be releasing sometime this Autumn with Destruction Derby following in early 2009.
