Word has reached me from a very reliable source that the latest game from Ice-Pick Lodge is going to be published by Atari in Western markets. The publishing agreement is planned to be sorted by the end of the week.

Tension (known as Turgor in Russian) has been available in CIS countries for quite some while, but only now is a Western release seeming near. More details hopefully will be forthcoming over the next week or so.

It must also be noted that Atari have a presence on Steam which would go hand in hand with this comment by The LxR (from Ice-Pick Lodge) back in May that they were looking into digital distribution for the game.

For those of you who haven’t seen anything of Tension yet, hit the jump for some videos.

Warning – not work safe.

Ice-Pick Lodge were also behind Pathologic which Quinn’s talked about greatly on Rock, Paper, Shotgun earlier this year.
