Capcom today announced that it will publish an unannounced multi-platform title from massively multiplayer online game developer Monumental Games later this year.

And... that's all the details that Capcom provided. It was a very short press release. However, Monumnetal's website offers the following tease of its first console game:

We can't reveal the franchise as yet, but we can say we're both proud and excited to be working on it. As you would expect given our core technology, there's a substantial online element, but the gameplay focus is pure adrenalin.

Monumental has released one game thus far, the free-to-play PC soccer MMO Football Superstars, with a hunting MMO, Hunter's World, early in development. The company recently bought half of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand developer Swordfish Studios.

MMO technology creator and CyberSports contractor Monumental Games announced today that it has acquired half of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand developer Swordfish Studios from Activision, marking the second ex-Vivendi studio to be sold off this week.

The studio was one of the many that Activision Blizzard hoped to sell after the Vivendi Games merger, with Swordfish's 50 Cent game among those dropped from the company's publishing slate as it did not fit with Activision's sequel-centric plans.

Monumental picked up Swordfish's 26-person Manchester branch for an undisclosed sum. The fate of the Birmingham office is not yet known, though publisher THQ has signed on to release 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand early next year.

"The Swordfish team is one of the very few developers worldwide to have fully solved the hugely complex issues involved in running and managing the XLSP (Xbox Live! Server Platform) server environments for online console gaming," explained Monumental CEO Rik Alexander.

"This knowledge base will help to consolidate Monumental's position as the market leading online game developer."
