Square Enix Collective, the platform aimed at helping Indies get to market, has inked a deal with Derby-based Bulkhead Interactive to publish ‘old-school’ WW2 shooter Battalion 1944 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You may remember the name, as this time last year Battalion 1944 smashed its crowdfunding campaign with its promise to bring WW2 shooters back into the limelight. After the huge success of last year’s The Turing Test, the devs chose Square Enix Collective for Battalion.
