Adamant Entertainment, the first name in Pulp d20, has entered into an exclusive agreement with San Francisco-based Hero Games, to produce d20 versions of Hero's acclaimed line of pulp adventures. The adventures, originally released for use with Hero Games' PULP HERO, will be re-statted for d20 and released as part of Adamant's THRILLING TALES line.

4Kids Entertainment, Inc. and The Mirage Group has announced an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Ubisoft to develop and publish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games, based on the new Warner Bros CG feature-length film.

Recent Turtles-related console titles based on the comic and cartoon series, also licensed by 4Kids, had been produced by Konami, which originally created the classic 1989 arcade side-scrolling version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, the Konami titles seem to have met with both limited critical acclaim and sales numbers, and Ubisoft have now usurped the movie license deal.

Marvel Entertainment, NCsoft Corporation, NC Interactive and Cryptic Studios announced that they have amicably settled all claims brought by Marvel and all claims brought by NCsoft, NC Interactive, Inc. and Cryptic Studios, Inc. The parties' settlement allows them all to continue to develop and sell products, but does not reduce the players' ability to express their creativity in making and playing original and exciting characters. Therefore, no changes to City of Heroes or City of Villains' character creation engine are part of the settlement. The parties have agreed that protecting intellectual property rights is critically important and each will continue aggressively to protect such rights in accordance with all applicable laws.
