French indie game developer Arkedo has announced Sega will be publishing its next title, tentatively titled
Project Hell Yeah!
Few details are known about
the newly announced project, which Arkedo has reportedly been working on for nine months, though the company did say the title will have "tons of different monsters in it."
"See, Sega? We spent the last five years telling you repeatedly that someday, somehow, you would publish one of our games," Arkedo studio chef Camille Guermonprez said in a statement. "This day has come. Hell Yeah! Now let's go back to work and finish the damn thing."
Arkedo was founded in 2006 and subsequently released two retail Nintendo DS titles: block-breaker
Nervous Brickdown through Secret Stash Games in 2007 and pyrotechnic shoot-'em'-up
Big Bang Mini through Southpeak Interactive in 2009.
More recently, the company's downloadable "Arkedo! Series" -- including puzzle title
Swap! and platformers
Pixel! and
Jump! -- have seen
thousands of sales on Xbox Live Indie Games, with
ports for PSN and iOS as well.
