Terminator Salvation - The Videogame
Development of art environment completed in partnership with Streamline Studios.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden and AMSTERDAM – April 23, 2009 – GRiN AB, Scandinavia’s most sought-after developers of console and PC games, and Streamline Studios, the leading development studio for high-quality digital content creation, today announced that they have completed their joint development of the art environment for the upcoming game, Terminator Salvation, for Warner Bros. and Halcyon. The game is the first title that GRiN and Streamline Studios have collaborated on since the two companies announced a formal partnership last August. The dedicated Streamline Studios team will move on to another co-production project with GRiN as the companies extend their working relationship.
“Terminator Salvation is coming together very well and we’re confident we’re delivering a game that redefines the Terminator franchise,” said Bo Andersson, founder and CEO of GRiN AB. “We couldn't have made this game as immersive or hit the quality level with any other partner than Streamline Studios. Terminator is our first major collaboration with Streamline Studios and they really put their hearts into this production, which is why we absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to create high-end content today. What’s left is for GRiN is to polish the last levels, gameplay and submit the game and then, the END begins.”
“Co-production of whole art pipelines is the future, and working with GRiN on Terminator Salvation was our next step to evolve as a company,” said Alexander L. Fernandez, co-founder and CEO of Streamline Studios, B.V. “After seeing our work in some of the biggest titles of all time, we see a changing landscape for game and asset production and we know our alignment with GRiN is a testament to the quality both of our companies deliver. The partnership has given everyone involved a lot of flexibility and the best of all resources to deliver a Terminator game that is truly going to be huge.”
