Thriller Publishing has announced its formation at GDC, as well as its intention to develop, market, publish and distribute military and espionage-themed games. The company has licensed and contracted several New York Times best-selling authors to create and develop new characters and storylines for their games.

The studio is led by industry veterans, J.W. Stealey, Fred Schmidt and Jim Bull – all of whom have worked together before at legendary ’80s developer MicroPose Software.

They are soon going to announce their first Thriller authors. Thriller Publishing is based in Austin, Texas.
