Vin Diesel, star of XXX and Fast and the Furious,
has unveiled his own
video game company -- Tigon Studios. A self-proclaimed gamer, he hinted
at plans of making his own game development studio over a year ago
during a promotional tour for the DVD release of XXX. The company's
name comes from the word used to describe an offspring between a tiger
and lion.
The self-financed company will have Diesel acting as
producer,
involving himself in creating story lines, writing dialogues and
directing cinematics. Tigon's CEO is Cos Lazouras, who formerly
produced Fox Interactive's "Planet of the Apes."
Work has already begun on their first game, The
Chronicles of Riddick:
Escape From Butcher Bay, which is being made by Swedish developer
Starbreeze, known for the first-person shooter Enclave.
