EA and Klei Entertainment have announced that writer Marianne Krawczyk will be writing the story for their upcoming 2D action game Shank. Krawczyk is best known for her work on the God of War series. Gamasutra claims she is one of the top 20 game writers left in the industry. Shank is released this summer on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC.

“I’m very excited to be a part of Shank,” said Marianne Krawczyk. “I fell in love with the artwork, characters and world that Klei Entertainment created and together we are creating a story that will allow gamers to explore a world where values like integrity and loyalty take on their own twisted meanings.”

“When Shank was first conceived, we envisioned a fully realized world with provocative characters living out a mature, cinematic story,” said Jamie Cheng, CEO of Klei Entertainment. “Marianne has been able to flesh out our characters, and create a gritty, personal and unique story of full frontal revenge.”
