Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced it is acquiring Snowblind Studios, the Seattle-based developer behind such games as Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath and Justice League Heroes.

Snowblind Studios becomes the third studio under the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment umbrella, joining F.E.A.R.2 developer Monolith and LEGO game creator TT Games.

"We look forward to working as a part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on creating several distinctive games with wide appeal," said Snowblind Studios head Ryan Geithman. "Our team is committed at every level to making the best gaming experience possible for our audiences."

Snowblind's current project is the Xbox Live Arcade action game Death Tank.

Death Tank, once a mini-game in Lobotomy Software's PowerSlave for the Sega Saturn, is coming to Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade, as was hinted by Germany's software ratings board.

Now developed by Snowblind Studios, the game is a two-dimensional multiplayer shooter a la Worms, but made real-time instead of turn-based. Lobotomy staffer Ezra Dreisbach, who is credited with the development of Death Tank, now works at Snowblind.

The digitally-downloadable revival will support four players on the same console and up to eight players online. A release date and price have not yet been announced, but the game's first screenshots were released by the studio today.
