Ignition Games on Friday confirmed that it opened a new North American headquarters in Marina Del Rey, CA, where the company will execute publishing duties for adventure game
El Shaddai.
The company said the new office marks a "renewed commitment to expanding its publishing pipeline."

Devil May Cry, Okami). The title is due to launch in North America on July 26 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Ignition Games is also publishing Vanillaware's upcoming PlayStation Vita and PS3 multiplayer action RPG
Dragon's Crown and the Nintendo 3DS titles
