Stephan Winter, CEO at Limbic Entertainment added:Our team is excited to dive into creating a new IP, and we are especially happy with the creative freedom in our cooperation with 505 Games."

The news comes just after 505 Games announced a publishing deal with Paul Neurath and Warren Spector’s OtherSide Entertainment on Underworld Ascent, the next-gen sequel to the renowned Underworld franchise.
