Sega will publish The Conduit

October 29, 2008 in News comments 8

I imagine the developers weren't worried, as that Wii FPS The Conduit has gotten very far in development without a publisher, interestingly. In any case, Sega has been announced to help put out the game.

Set in Washington DC, players take the role of Secret Service agent Ford, who must fight the insectoid alien threat the The Drudge following an invasion of Earth.

"Bringing The Conduit into our library is yet another show of SEGA’s belief that the Wii is more than a casual games console," says Gary Knight, European Marketing Director at SEGA of Europe. "As one of the most anticipated Wii games for next year, The Conduit will be the new benchmark for first person shooters."

"High Voltage Software's partnership with SEGA to publish The Conduit represents an important milestone for this studio," said Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "SEGA shares our vision for the title and its tremendous potential, which is why we chose them from a long list of potential partners. With their support, we are confident that The Conduit will deliver the definitive shooter experience that Wii fans have been waiting for since the system's launch."

    Sega huh? Well generally speaking they do seem to be one of the groups which give the Wii the respect and the effort it deserves and requires in most of their own games, they aren't a bad choice when it comes down to it.

    Absolutely!! I just hope Sega won't screw the game up.




    Didn't High Voltage say that they will choose a publisher when they finish the game? ARE THEY DONE!?!?

    (Campaign wise)

    I would say Sega will give them good backing, if there is one company who can appreciate graphics on the Wii I think it is them, Sonic and The Secret Rings was by no stretch ugly, and did you see that cut scene at the end, you could see Sonic's hair.

    Furthermore, well lets just say Sega can raise a fair few eyebrows.

    I honestly couldn't care less who publishes this game, as long as they don't mess it up. This game has so much potential, it could be one of, if not the best, wii shooters.

    Don't let me down Sega!

    The title should be "SEGA will ruin The Conduit".
