Headstrong’s Secret Sega Title To Get Leipzig Outing

Ever since Kuju London was renamed and they said that the now Headstrong Games was working on a title for Sega, we’ve been wondering just what it is.

Well it looks like we don’t have very long to wait before we find out. I recently received this glorious post card from Headstrong Games and Sega Europe. On the back it reminds us to visit them in Leipzig in the Sega Suite and be one of the “first in the world to see our latest game in action”.

Here’s hoping it’s going to be that rumoured new Jet Grind Radio. Sounds like Leipzig is going to have some real zing to it this year.

Another Kuju Renamed – Headstrong Games

While I love the name Kuju and don’t see any reason to go about changing it, the folks at Kuju continue the relentless rebranding of their studios that began with Kuju Brighton becoming Zoe Mode and continued with Kuju Sheffield becoming Chemistry. Now Kuju London, developers of the Battalion Wars series for Nintendo, will be henceforth known as Headstrong Games. Ian Baverstock, CEO for Kuju Entertainment, said, “Headstrong is the final ‘piece in the puzzle’ for Kuju’s offering in the UK. As action specialists they complement the other studios that have already rebranded and together offer publishers a full service solution to their development needs.”

The development studio is expected to stay busy-busy through the rebranding, working on several projects, including an unannounced game for Sega. Teases.
