Focus Home Interactive has partnered with yet another indie developer, Asobo Studio to back them in creating an all new action-adventure game called, The Plague. Details on the game are currently scarce, as the pair have only released a piece of concept art (pictured above). However, The Plague will be revealed early next month at What's Next de Focus, an international video game press event in Paris that showcases the games being worked on under Focus Home Interactive.
Asobo Studio's CEO, Sebastian Wloch had this to say about the partnership:
"Collaborating with Focus Home Interactive on a new, original creation of our team is a major step in the development of our studio For this ambitious project, we needed the full support of a strong and growing publisher. The Focus team, through their professionalism, enthusiasm, and openness, have naturally established themselves as the ideal partners to bring the experience we wish to offer to players."
Focus Home Interactive president Cdric Lagarrigue said:
"It is a great pride for Focus to accompany Asobo on an original creation of the studio. This new signature confirms our results and know-how on the support of talented independent studios such as Dontnod, Deck13, Giants Software, Cyanide, New World Interactive and Larian on increasingly ambitious projects worldwide. There is a real upscaling of our catalog and The Plague will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the next years of Focus."
What's Next de Focus will take place on February 1st and 2nd and The Plague is currently wrapping up pre-production. According to an official press release, The Plague "will be presented through a first version of the game" at the event.
