Today, Bitcasters announced that it will make the Storm Hawks animated series into an MMO. The media firm will accomplish this using the BigWorld Technology Suite. Bitcasters will work closely with broadcast partners YTV and Cartoon Network along with toy line manufacturer Spinmaster to create a genuine Storm Hawks experience.

"When we set out to create the Storm Hawks MMO, we needed a technology solution that would allow us to bring the online story to life, and connect our worldwide audience in exciting new ways," commented Nathon Gunn, CEO of Bitcasters. "Not only has the BigWorld solution exceeded our expectations, but the continued support and training the BigWorld team have provided us with has allowed us to get further ahead in a much shorter time than would otherwise have been possible."
