By Nantoo Banerjee It is difficult to understand why India is constantly falling prey to China if it is fully aware that China is heavily dumping exports, often “supplying goods at less than raw materials costs.” The question is pertinent in the context of India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s recent outburst as moderator […]

Barcelona studio to open in early 2024 and work is underway on a new third-person action-adventure title.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA, August 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Arctic7, which provides a robust suite of full-scale and co-development services in game development and virtual production services for the movie and TV industry, has today announced it will open a new facility in Barcelona, bolstering overall European presence alongside its existing studio in Montenegro.

The studio is scheduled to open in early 2024. Kedhrin Gonzalez will continue in his role as Studio Head of Arctic7 Montenegro and will add the Barcelona studio to his remit with the new studio significantly increasing development capacity available for full game and co-development work with partner projects and internal IP Arctic7 is developing, the first of which is also teased for the first time this week and presented to potential partners.

The as-yet unnamed title is a post-civilisation, third-person action-adventure title built using Unreal Engine 5. Humans thrive in the ruins of a world that fights off a new dark age thanks to the vestiges of technology but are faced with a growing challenge from the reawakening of ancient spiritual forces. Gameplay is built around deep exploration, emotional narrative and a sophisticated and evolving combat system.

Kedhrin Gonzalez, Arctic7 Europe Studio Head, said: “At Arctic7 Europe, while we continue to focus on building strong partnerships for our co-development work, we’re always trying to think of ways to push forward our skills and fuel our passion for making great games for partners. This project is a direct result of that passion and draws on the teams’ experience working on some of the world’s leading games such as Halo, Rainbow Six series and more.”

Arctic7 Chief Executive Officer Igor Efremov said: “Over the past year, we have significantly grown our full game, co-development and virtual production capabilities as we look to establish a leadership position in the space and all focused on delivering great entertainment experiences for our partners and players. We are proud to announce that we are continuing to grow Arctic7 in Barcelona, which will be an additional hub for both full game development and co-development projects. I believe the historic city of Barcelona will be a great steppingstone forwards, giving us access to a rich talent pool so that we can turn out even more entertainment experiences.’’

The news follows a recent announcement that Arctic7 had appointed a new commercial team, featuring a variety of seasoned industry leaders to build exceptional partnerships and pursue an array of new business opportunities.

Established in 2022, Arctic7 is a fully independent collection of four studios, strategically situated in the US, Canada and Europe with capabilities across gaming and media industries. Each studio is an integral part of Arctic7’s collective strength with more than 150 dedicated professionals working across internally developed IP, co-development projects and virtual production.

Donovan “Razor” Ruddock vs. James “Lights Out” Toney at Jamaica’s Epic “Rumble In Sun” Boxing Match.

In November, for the first time, Donovan “Razor” Ruddock and James “Lights Out” Toney square off in an epic boxing match.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, August 28, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Legendary Jamaican-Canadian boxing Heavyweight Champion Donovan “Razor” Ruddock returns to his birthplace of Jamaica for an inaugural match against the International Boxing Hall of Fame Inductee and Champion James “Lights Out” Toney at the mega “Rumble In The Sun” event on Saturday, November 11, 2023, inside Kingston’s iconic Sabina Park. This historic match-up marks Ruddock’s first time competing in a boxing match in Jamaica. Rumble In The Sun is a revolutionary match and a catalytic mechanism for philanthropic partnerships with the Red Ground District primary school and Gloves Over Guns initiative and for establishing Jamaica as an international boxing destination.

“Jamaica is the birthplace and heritage of some of the most dynamic and talented boxers,” says Ruddock. “I am excited to participate in a groundbreaking boxing match that will change the world’s perception of this beautiful country.”

Noted as one of the 100 greatest punchers of all time due to his signature “smash,” an impression and hybrid left-hand punch, Ruddock was born in St. Catherine’s parish and immigrated to Toronto, Canada, with family in his youth. While there, he fine-tuned his burgeoning boxing skills and, in March 1980, defeated Lennox Lewis as a teenage amateur boxer at the Ontario Junior Boxing Championship. Since becoming a professional boxer in 1982, he has garnered knockout wins against former WBA heavyweight champions Michael Dokes and James “Bonecrusher” Smith and held the WBA inter-continental heavyweight title. In 1991, Ruddock battled against “Iron” Mike Tyson in two matches, one of which he fought nine rounds despite sustaining a broken jaw in round three.

His opponent James Toney has held “world champions in three weight classes” and was voted Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 1991 and 2003. As a youth, Toney was inspired to become a boxing champion after watching fellow International Boxing Hall of Fame Inductee Tommy “The Hitman” Hearns box at the August 1980 WBA Welterweight Championship. Since becoming a professional boxer at age 20 and winning his first fight against Stephen Lee in October 1988, Toney has competed in 92 fights, including 77 wins and 47 knockouts. Toney returns to the ring after a six-year hiatus following his 2017 unanimous vote and win against Mike Sheppard.

“Years from now, people will still be talking about one of the greatest boxing matches of all time between me and Razor,” says James Toney. “My career is filled with history-making moments in boxing, and Rumble In The Sun is no exception.”

Rumble In The Sun is proudly endorsed by the Jamaican Boxing Board and partners with the Gloves Over Gun initiative. “There are youth today using boxing as a platform for personal development, social support and community cohesion,” says Stephen “Bomber” Jones, Jamaica Boxing Board president. “Having them witness such an event will further cement in their minds boxing as a vehicle for the way forward.”

Premier global sports and entertainment digital platform FITE by Triller will broadcast the event live on pay-per-view via cable and satellite networks. For the latest information, visit the event website at www.rumbleinthesun.com.

About Donovan “Razor” Ruddock
Donovan “Razor” Ruddock has undoubtedly established his legacy as one of his era’s most formidable and relentless heavyweights. The hard-punching Canadian top contender is most known for fearlessly challenging former undisputed Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson twice in 1991 and his terrifying
knockouts of former WBA Heavyweight Champions Michael Dokes in 1990 and James “Bonecrusher” Smith in 1989. Through two decades of boxing, Ruddock achieved an honorable career of 47 professional fights with 40 wins, six losses and one draw.

About James “Lights Out” Toney
James “Lights Out” Toney is an American former professional boxer noted for his outstanding defense and smooth counter-punching from 1988 to 2017. He held world championships in three weight classes, including the IBF and lineal middleweight titles from 1991 to 1993, the IBF super middleweight title from 1993 to 1994, and the IBF cruiserweight title in 2003. Toney is also revered for brazenly battling some of the sport’s giants, such as Roy Jones Jr., Evander Holyfield and Mike McCallum. He has rightfully earned a tribute to be inducted into the International Hall of Fame.
