Kuju developing new PSP title for Marvelous

AIM-listed British game developer Kuju Plc has signed a contract with yet another Japanese publisher, with the company being contracted by Marvelous Interactive to develop a new title for the PlayStation Portable.

The deal, which was announced to the London Stock Exchange last week, will see the company's Sheffield studio starting work on its first project for the new handheld console.

No further details of the game have been announced. Marvelous Interactive, whose recently founded European subsidiary is called Rising Star Games, is best known on these shores as the company behind the Harvest Moon series of games.

The deal is just the latest in a series of contract wins for Kuju with Japanese firms, with the company already numbering projects for Nintendo and Konami among the games in development at its studios.
