Perfect World Entertainment And Turtle Rock Studios Are Collaborating On A New Co-Op FPS

The end of development of Evolve Stage 2 has freed Turtle Rock Studios up to work on a new project. In fact, that is exactly what it is doing. While details are still scarce, Perfect World Entertainment and Turtle Rock announced today that they are collaborating on "a new triple-A game IP for PC and console." The first title to utilize said IP is a "top secret free to play first-person shooter" featuring "intense online co-operative action." You know, what Turtle Rock is best known for.

Turtle Rock Studios Co-Founder Phil Robb had the following to say about the announcement.

We are developing a new franchise set in an all new universe that leverages the style of gameplay our community loves and expects from Turtle Rock Studios.  We’re focusing on what we do best – heart-pounding moment-to-moment online co-op FPS action. And with Perfect World Entertainment as our partner, we will always make sure that our players come first by listening to them and growing the game based on how they play and interact over what we hope are many years to come. We cannot wait to show them what we have in store.

Perfect World Entertainment Senior Vice President of Global Publishing Yoon IM also weighed in.

This one is going to be huge. We've been growing Perfect World Entertainment for about a decade now, always looking for strong developers to make cool games. We're proud to work with developers like Cryptic, Tuque, Runic and Unknown Worlds. Partnering with Turtle Rock and adding its new IP to our portfolio is great. We look forward to fully supporting Turtle Rock as a publishing partner and can't wait to show off their new game.

More details about the project are set to be revealed in the near future.
