TikGames have revealed that their Xbox Live Arcade title Interpol is still coming to the service - but with a switch of publishers.

Originally the game was to be published by Sierra Online, but with the merger of Activision and Vivendi Universal it was unclear what would happen to the rest of Sierra's upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles. Games like Zombie Wranglers were announced with a release date but never got out the door - the developers' even had a launch party for it.

Now it seems that Interpol will be published by Microsoft instead. Microsoft has previously published a TikGames title with Domino Master, so the changeover is a simple one.

"In Interpol, players track down the evil and destructive fugitive Dr. Chaos by seeking out hidden clues in exotic locales around the world. In single-player campaign, use your keen investigative skills to quickly gather the evidence needed to bring him and his criminal accomplices to justice. Or, join forces with up to three other friends in local or Xbox LIVE cooperative play to put them behind bars together. Only your keen eyes and investigative skills stand between the world and Dr. Chaos's evil schemes - use them wisely!"

The game is set for a Winter release and will sell for 800 Microsoft Points.
