Good news everyone. ACE has found a publisher for Zeno Clash, and it is none other than Atlus.

Because of this, the game is set to be released on Xbox 360 as Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition via XBL.

That’s not all though, come spring 2010, the updated version will have online and splitscreen co-op, along with some gameplay enhancements suggested by the community.

Also, players can expect a brand new mode for the game that Atlus is saving as a surprise.

Flipping fantastic!

ACE has released new DLC for Zeno Clash called ‘The Pit’.

It has three new challenge scenarios where players compete for leaderboard scores, and gravity will not be your friend, apparently. Destructible floors and traps may cause you to end up in the bottom of the pit dead instead of alive.

The update is free, and is being released on Steam, where you can get Zeno Clash 50 percent off this weekend.

A video for the DLC is after the break.

Zeno Clash may soon land on Xbox Live once it gets a publisher, according to a report from D’toid.

ACE co-founder Carlos Bordeu has said the team, is close to landing a deal, and the game will contain extra content once it is launched.

“We’ve been having conversations about a possible XBLA version of the game and we’re currently talking with a publisher,” said Bordeu. “But we still haven’t closed that yet. But it’s something we’d really like to do.”

You can get it on Steam for the time being.

ACE has announced Zeno Clash 2, saying the second game is “to be much larger in scope”.

“The studio has begun planning the next game of the series which will continue the adventures of Ghat, who will struggle against new and old conflicts,” said the company in a statement.

“Father Mother, the mysterious Golem and new characters will be making an appearance in the next title. The story will be set after the events that take place in the first game.”

There’s no date as yet.

Microsoft has made 75 percent of its staff at Massive redundant.

Around 100 people were let go from the in-game ad firm, which was purchased by Microsoft in 2006.

In order to reduce costs, 3000 other staffers were let go yesterday which adds to the 1400 back in January when staff from ACE, Rare and Windows Live were culled.

5000 cuts have been planned so far, but reports say more may be necessary.

ACE has told Shacknews that it plans to release a demo, downloadable content and a SDK for Zeno Clash after release.

“We’re planning on releasing DLC and releasing a compatible SDK so users can edit levels and other assets” said ACE’s Andres Bordeu.

The planned DLC will be free and includes  new Tower Challenges and the possibly “other things” that ACE  is “not ready to share yet”.

Release dates have not been scheduled, but the firm says it shouldn’t take very long.

A patch is also in the works to address game play mechanics and some general bug fixing.

Zeno Clash is coming to Steam, and if you pre-order it’ll only cost you $10 instead of $20.

That’s half off.
