Autumn Games and Reverge Labs to Unleash Skullgirls in 2011; Additional Details to be Revealed at GDC

Los Angeles – Feb. 3, 2011 – Prepare for the fight of your life! Autumn Games, a premier publisher of interactive entertainment, is working with game developer Reverge Labs to develop Skullgirls, a new fast-paced 2D fighting game that puts players in control of fierce female warriors in an extraordinary Dark Deco world. The team is led by renowned fighting game champion Mike “Mike Z” Zaimont and artist Alex Ahad, whose work has appeared in many publications, including Scott Pilgrim and Lava Punch. Using advanced graphical technology never before achieved in a game of its type, Skullgirls is currently in development for a 2011 release on high-definition home consoles.

“We believe that Skullgirls has the chops to be the next big 2D fighter – it has amazing art, tight gameplay, and a rich and deep backstory,” said Jason Donnell, president and COO, Autumn Games. “Working with the talented group at Reverge Labs is an added bonus, particularly with Mike Z’s expertise in the competitive games arena and Alex Ahad’s phenomenal art style. Together we’re delivering a challenging and competitive – and really fun – game, wrapped in the convenience and easy expandability of DLC on the two leading gaming services.”

“We’re aiming to create a new take on fighting games, drawing on our own experience as competitive gamers to combine the best elements of classic fighters into something with intense action, an engaging story and the most advanced 2D fighting engine ever created,” said Richard Wyckoff, CEO, Reverge Labs. “Autumn Games is quickly making a name for itself in the industry as a publisher of fresh and exciting games and a true partner to independent game developers, and they were the ideal choice for us to partner with on Skullgirls.”

you aint lying brother!! its just a mater of time.

but uhh this make me wonder somehing, its kinda like fighting games even tho mugen emulated them , that now somehow they might be emulating mugen? is it me being crazy or is there some truth to that maybe? plus , imagine if Mugen creators, sprite artiss, Fx and coders and such banned together from the mugen communiy and put all they knowhow into forming a solid gaming developer company

reality or blasphemy. either way...it just boggles the mind to wonder.

Really dig the lighting effects a lot. Adds a nice comic book style touch to it. Hope this does end up on 360 when all is said and done.
