Following Taiwanese leak, the full list of next-generation third-party partners is made public; says it is committed to current generation console until 2007.
On Thursday, Taiwanese gaming site Game News Network (GNN) published what it claimed was a leaked list of third-party publishers for the next-generation Xbox. The list was impressive indeed, including such heavy hitters as Activision, Atari, Capcom, Electronic Arts, Konami, Majesco, Midway, Namco, Rockstar, THQ, and VU Games. It also included several companies that have already announced next-gen Xbox titles, including Bethesda (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion), Eidos (Tomb Raider: Legend), and Ubisoft (King Kong, Ghost Recon 3, and Splinter Cell 4).
When presented with the list from the GNN article, Microsoft declined to comment. But today, the game giant sent out a press release announcing those publishers that will support the next-generation Xbox. The release revealed the same publishers featured on GNN. "Together, these publishers have sold more than half a billion copies of current-generation Xbox console video games worldwide and represent approximately 70 percent of all current-generation console games sold in 2004," read the document. The full list of publishers is featured below:
