Warner Bros. Publishing For Codemaster

Warner Brothers has announced now managed to secure a publishing deal with UK-based Codemasters. WB, who just bought a ten percent stake in Codemasters' UK rival, SCi Entertainment, will now take over the North America publishing of Codemasters' titles starting in April. The deal will see WB publishing DIRT: Colin McRae Offroad, Overlord, Clive Barker's Jericho and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.

"This partnership allows the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group divisions to combine strengths to distribute Codemasters' games, which have global appeal, throughout North America," said Kevin Tsujihara, president of Warner Bros.

"Employing the expertise of our gaming division and our powerful home video distribution services, we will bring Codemasters' products to consumers within the ever-growing gaming marketplace," he added.
