Stunlock Studios AB, a start-up company based in Skövde, Sweden, has signed a publishing agreement with Funcom. Funcom will publish, operate and provide customer support for the multi-player arena game Bloodline Champions, which is currently in the later stages of beta testing. Bloodline Champions is an arena-based player vs. player game featuring unique and action-packed gameplay for up to ten people.

- Bloodline Champions is a game that we are very excited about. We have been testing the game extensively at Funcom and we enjoy its fast-paced, player vs. player action-focused gameplay, says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas.
- We believe that the way Bloodline Champions executes this gameplay will appeal to a significant gamer segment. The game represents a complement to our large-scale MMO games and it will expand the product offering to our ever-growing online gaming community. The game fits well with the current trend of quick access online multi-player experiences, says Trond Arne Aas.

The best game
- Everyone at Stunlock Studios is very happy and excited to start this co-operation with Funcom", says Tau Petersson, CEO of Stunlock Studios.
