FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

March 26, 2010 - Seattle, Washington - Atomic Operations, an entertainment production studio and original IP creation house led by industry veteran, Chris Millar, announces today a new relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment America. After leading the development team during the original development of Fat Princess for the PlayStation®Network (PSN) on the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system, Millar has signed on with fellow Fat Princess team members, John Mundy and Chris Coster, to create much-anticipated new DLC content for the award-winning title as the newly-formed and independent Atomic Operations.

“Sony was a fantastic partner during the original development of Fat Princess, a unique and ever-expanding franchise. We are proud to be working again with some of the strongest creative leaders in the gaming industry, dedicated to building award-winning gaming experiences,” says Chris Millar, CEO of Atomic Operations. “Fat Princess was one of Sony’s fastest-selling PSN chart-toppers, and we are now actively responding to feature requests from fans.
