Genji creators Game Republic have been signed-up by Brash Entertainment to create a brand new game based on a Hollywood license, set for release in 2010.

Game Republic crafted Folklore for the PS3, as well as Genji, and was founded by veteran designer Yoshiki Okamoto of fame.

"One of my goals with games is to do something revolutionary with something that has been never been seen before," beams Okamoto. "The opportunity to re-imagine a fictional world provided by a compelling Hollywood IP using the interactive medium of games is very exciting to me.

"We are working directly with the creative talent from the film, and feel that the close collaboration will result in an amazing game play experience that immerses the player in an incredible fantasy world."

"As a gamer, I am extremely excited to work with Okamoto-san, who has produced some of my favourite games," adds Brash co-founder and CEO Mitch Davis.

"The Brash business gives us the luxury to match the best Hollywood IP with the skills of the most talented independent game developers; our partnership with a strong studio such as Game Republic is an excellent example of that."

Brash are said to have a 400 million USD fund to create new games based on movie and IP. More soon.
