California-based developer High Moon
Studios has been acquired by Vivendi Universal Games. Financial terms were not disclosed, but part of the deal calls
for the more than 100 staff members to be retained.The Darkwatch developer was created last year when Sammy Corp's Sammy Studios was bought out by management and private investors, and then renamed High Moon Studios.
In the meantime, VU Games has been working with their new design shop on a project from a major entertainment license and CEO Bruce Hack hints it will be a next gen console title. Hulk? Riddick? Barbie? We'll know soon.
