Digital Development Signs Zombie Studios
Zombie Joins DDM’s Line-Up of AAA Developers
Zombie Studios, developer of military
first-person shooters and a 13-year veteran of independent game development, has
signed with Digital Development Management (DDM), a premiere development studio
representation agency. Zombie recently re-emerged as a top independent studio
with the release of Americas Army: Special Forces(R) (Coalition) Mission Editor,
an Unreal level editor for Americas Army(R). More information about Zombie
Studios’ titles currently under development is available at
www.zombie.com.
DDM Partner, Jeff Hilbert of DDM says, “We’re
very excited to represent Zombie at this stage of their studio’s evolution. Not
only are they a highly creative team with next-gen console expertise, Zombie is
also one of the few independent studios with a multimillion unit track record
for original properties like Spec Ops. They’re consistently tapped for top
military FPS franchises like Rainbow Six, Delta Force and Americas Army. The
studio’s history, combined with their new focus on developing only front line
products, is a perfect match for our client profile.”
Zombie Co-CEO Mark Long adds, “DDM is a great fit
for us. Zombie has spent the last two years building a triple-A development
process and team to match our creative goals. And now we’re executing our
strategy with DDM. We’ve also just launched our own graphic novel imprint to
develop IP for games and feature films. Our first book, Shrapnel, debuts at
Comic-Con in July. DDM understands our ambitions and their comprehensive style
of representation will allow us greater creative focus.”
