DEFCON is on the way to DS, currently looking for publisher

Introversion have announced that DEFCON will be coming to DS later this year, although the game, as of yet, has no publisher. It is currently scheduled for a release in the third quarter of 09, should a publishing partner be found, which should mean it will be out just before the crazy end of year deluge of games.

“With the DSi flying off the shelves recently, we believe that there will be particular interest in a finished DS product with such a great track record, especially as the RTS/Strategy sector is so poorly served on the platform,“ said Mark Morris, Director at Introversion.

“In the current risk-averse environment, companies are placing a premium on finished products with a well-established brand and track record. DEFCON DS is a fantastic publishing opportunity, and we’re confident we will be able to find the right fit for Introversion,” remarks John Cook, Senior Partner at Bad Management, who are aiding Introversion in finding a publisher

We reviewed the PC version of DEFCON about 2 years back, and gave it a 7. That means we liked it.
