Quazal, makers of the Net-Z and Rendez-Vous online multiplayer middleware, and JoWooD Productions Software AG, a publisher of interactive games for home consoles and home computers, have announced that JoWooD has chosen Quazal’s Rendez-Vous online middleware technology as the basis for three of their upcoming online games,
SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars,
The Guild 2 and
Panzer Elite Action.
These titles are due for release in early 2006, and are in development at Phenomic Game Development, 4Head Studios and Wizarbox, respectively. Integration of Quazal’s Rendez-Vous technology into these games will allow the developers to implement online functionality using Net-Z's lobby and matchmaking system.
The titles will hit European stores early in 2006 from Austrian-headquartered publisher JoWooD, which does not yet have a U.S. publishing presence. Developers interested in information regarding Quazal’s technology can visit
the company's site for more details.
