MCV's sister site Develop reports that Spark Unlimited has announced that their new title, Legendary: The Box, will be published by Gamecock Media Group.

The developer, an employee-owned company founded in 2002, will be readying the first-person shooter for a spring 2008 release on PC and ‘next-gen platforms’.

“Like most developers, we’ve always had a dream game that we’ve secretly been working on,” said Craig Allen, CEO of Spark Unlimited.

“We’ve made a name for ourselves with World War II first-person shooters, but Legendary: The Box is our labor of love. It’s a thrill to work with Gamecock; they want to see the game completed exactly as we envision it.”

“If there is one genre that needs a shot in the arm, it’s the first-person shooter,” said Harry Miller, head of development of Gamecock Media Group. “Spark’s Legendary: The Box is going to be a classic, in terms of story, game-play and technology. I’m inspired by where they’re taking the genre.”
