DICE founder Fredrik Liljegren has his sights set on free-to-play games, as he's revealed (via <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25364">Gamasutra</a>) his new studio, Antic Entertainment. He's joined by Digital Extremes alum Mark Mikulec and Jeff Evans at the London, Ontario-based studio, which features talent from a variety of titles such as <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dark-sector"><em>Dark Sector</em></a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/bioshock"><em>BioShock</em></a> and DICE's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/search/?q=battlefield&amp;invocationType=wl-joystiq&amp;searchsubmit="><em>Battlefield</em></a> series. <br /><br />In fact, the team's already got a title underway called <em>Junk: Battles</em> (Seriously? You named your game <em>Junk</em>?), an RTS hybrid designed to work in most major web browsers, where users create a ship and battle other users, gaining stats and ship parts as they progress. While the game is in its earliest stages, feel free to battle through all of the junk (sorry!) at its site <a href="http://www.junkbattles.com/">here</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/dice-founder-forms-antic-entertainment-unveils-junk-battles/">DICE founder forms Antic Entertainment, unveils Junk: Battles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:29:00 EST.
