UK independent developer Blitz Games, today revealed that they will be developing the multi-platform tie-in Bad Boys 2, for last weeks announced publisher Empire. This must be a pretty big gig for the Leamington Spa outfit, who will develop the PS2, and versions of the first game, due this alongside the movie’s DVD release.

Blitz worked on the Xbox launch title Fuzion Frenzy, but this movie-licence, which certainly has potential, has to be their best opportunity to date – and struggling publisher Empire’s golden chance to improve their ailing share price.
