Games developer Big Ant Studios revealed last year that it would establish a new office in Queensland. Its plans have now been clarified with the announcement of a development studio at the University of the Sunshine Coast's Innovation Centre.Published by THQ, Konami and Sierra Entertainment, all of the company's console titles have sold hundreds of thousand units.
Examples include Hellboy: The Science of Evil (PSP), Spyro: The Eternal Night (PS2) and Spyro: A New Beginning (GBA).
Late last year the company announced the development of a licensed AFL game. It currently focuses on the PS3, PSP, Wiii and Xbox 360.
