Seattle Times:
Longtime Seattle game developer Zombie Studios has landed a major deal that will transform the company over the next year. Its upcoming futuristic military game “Blacklight” is being made into a feature film and comic-book series by Fox Atomic, a unit of Fox Filmed Entertainment. The deal is being announced today. “We’re hoping to graduate into the big league, frankly, with this one,” Zombie co-founder Mark Long said. “Fox is a great partner to do that with. They’re a big, well-integrated media company.” Long expects his 60-person company in downtown Seattle will add 30 to 40 employees.
