In a deal that was simply meant to happen, Gamecock Media Group has announced that it has signed on to publish Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball<\/em>, Blazing Lizard’s debut title in its newly-trademarked Pirates vs. Ninja<\/em> series. Powered by Infyrno, Blazing Lizard’s new proprietary game engine, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball<\/em> will feature Exhibition, Story and Challenge modes, 8-player online play, 4-player local play and 4-player co-op. The pirates and ninjas may be the stars, but there will be other teams to pick from too (none announced as of yet).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf ever there was a team we were destined to work with and a game we were destined to publish, this is it!\u201d said Mike Wilson, Grand Champeen of Gamecock Media Group. \u201cGoing beyond the brilliant concept, Blazing Lizard has shown us that their title will set a new high bar for gameplay and graphical expectations in downloadable console games.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy Gamecock? They understand what a developer wants out of a publisher,\u201d said Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard. \u201cIt was an easy decision to team with them on Pirates vs. Ninjas\u2122 Dodgeball, and we couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gamers will be able to settle the pirates vs. ninjas debate once and for all early next year (Q1 2008), though the platforms it’ll be showing up on haven’t been specified. It will be released as a downloadable game on “yet-to-be announced home console systems,” which means we’ll surely being seeing it on XBLA and PSN, I imagine. Original WiiWare content is supposed to start launching in early ’08, so maybe it’ll pop up on the Wii too…<\/p>\n

Enough speculation, though. Here are some early screens to check out:<\/p>\n
