This is a monumental moment for fans of classic arcade shooters. One of the genre's major pioneers will now be working alongside one of its modern innovators, as developer Housemarque has announced it will be working alongside developer Eugene Jarvis.

Jarvis is the man behind such arcade staples as Defender, Robotron, and Smash TV, while Housemarque is better known as the developer behind the PS4 hit Resogun. This collaboration will be Jarvis' first since working with Midway Games to create Cruis'n USA in 1994.

More information about Housemarque's collaboration with Eugene Jarvis is expected to be revealed soon. In the meantime, check out the announcement below. As for fans of Resogun, remember that the game's latest free update is available now.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
