2005 Sep 11 Blitz Games Studios, one of Europe's largest independent game development studios, is to establish a new label entitled Volatile Games for titles featuring mature content including its next-generation zombie-fest Possession.

Philip Oliver, CEO and Managing Director of Blitz Games Studios said, 'Having established a strong foothold in the younger end of the market, we're keen to broaden our portfolio and address an older audience too. In forming the new label Volatile, we are able to develop the more mature themed titles, like Possession, whilst maintaining the integrity of the Blitz brand for family oriented games." He continued, "We already have one other major title under development for the Volatile label which we hope to announce towards the end of the year."

Andrew Oliver, co-founder and Development Director of Blitz Games Studios added, 'We currently have 40 staff in the Volatile division with plans for further growth. Our next generation technology and tools are already well underway and in use in two titles for the new label.'
