The newly created independent publisher Gamecock has already announced its first title just a day after Mike Wilson and Harry Miller revealed the firm's creation. The former CEO and president of Gathering of Developers will be teaming up with developer Firefly Studios to create Hero, an action-RPG set for release in Spring 2009. The team has actually been working together on the title since before the creation of Gamecock Media Group, and also collaborated on the Stronghold titles while Wilson and Miller where with GOD.
"When we discussed working with them again, they asked if we wanted the next Stronghold or an original title. The team was insanely passionate and committed to the new original title, so it was a no-brainer for us, we choose that," said Mike Wilson, CEO and Head of Marketing for Gamecock Media Group. "They understand that consumers want something more than another sequel and we plan to support that vision."
"Having worked with Mike and Harry in the past, we know we have a publisher that is exciting and creative in outlook, but also supremely capable in having fresh ideas and titles such as Hero break out," said Simon Bradbury, CEO of Firefly Studios. "They are a very artist driven and flexible company and we think, perfectly placed to take on ‘the establishment’ in the shifting sands of the publishing landscape!"
