Gore Verbinski's company Blind Wink Productions has announced a deal with Microsoft to create content for platforms that include the Xbox 360. The first collaborative project of this arrangement will be an Xbox Live Arcade video game designed for Kinect for late 2012.
“Audiences consume content very differently today," said Verbinski. "As an idea house, we at Blind Wink are looking forward to our partnership with Microsoft. Their various platforms give us access to new methods of distribution, allowing us to extend into emerging markets and connect more directly with the audience."
All other projects from this deal will be distributed worldwide by Microsoft and cover other platforms. “Xbox 360 gamers can look forward to innovative and creative games from the mind of Gore Verbinski that explore new and exciting gaming territory and take full advantage of our platforms," said Microsoft Studios general manager Matt Booty.
Verbinski has kept an eye on the games industry for some time, making a speech several years ago at D.I.C.E. and he was also slated to direct the BioShock film but eventually passed on that opportunity.
