News known weeks ago was confirmed by GT Interactive today. Namely, that newly formed game developer Fugitive will send its products through the GT pipeline for the requisite publishing and distribution drill.
Fugitive's top biz guy Greg Williams was part of the Unreal team at GT (as the game's executive producer), so news of the alliance comes with little attendant shock value. Sources close to the negotiations had earlier alerted GameSpot News that contracts memorializing the agreement had a few weeks' worth of dry ink on them. The creative team at Fugitive is being led by the former lead designer of Blizzard Entertainment's Starcraft, James Phinney.
