The new lineup for the board of directors of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) was recently revealed. Joining the 10-man team will be designer and professor Brenda Brathwaite, consultant Mark DeLoura, and THQ/Big Huge Games studio manager Tim Train. Other details regarding the new board of directors can be read in our full article.

Even though the development studio Big Huge Games has been only around for a couple of years, this company is no pushover being founded by industry veterans Tim Train and Brian Reynolds.

It should be also remembered that it recently hired the services of the then retired Oblivion Morrowind lead designer Ken Rolston. Currently, Big Huge Games has a scheduled new RPG to be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms some time in 2009.

We learned today that Wii owners will also be getting some love from the company. They're currently creating an exclusive title for Nintendo's white console. In addition to this, the company is also looking for a concept artist who will be working on the said exclusive Wii game.

Judging from the job listing posted at Gamasutra, it seems that Wii owners are really in for a treat:

We're looking for an experienced, exceptionally knowledgeable, talented, and motivated Concept Artist to contribute to our upcoming Wii title (trust us, while it’s yet-to-be-publicly announced it’s gonna be an incredibly fun and quirky title that’ll be a concept artist’s dream).

Aside from that, no other information was given on this secret title. If you want to know more about the Concept Artist position the company needs, click on our Read link below.

Ken Rolston was the lead producer of such titles like Morrowind and Oblivion. With 25 years of experience under his belt, you can understand the excitement when Big Huge Games snapped him up to develop a new RPG for them. This action actually took Mr. Rolston out of retirement which he announced last May 2006.

Mr. Tim Train, the president of Big Huge Games, is very pleased with the company's newest member. While he has assured us that they would still produce quality RTS games such as Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends, he admits that they have been "looking" into the RPG scene. He believes that Mr. Rolston is a perfect fit for their plans, adding that his experience and leadership will help their new venture succeed.

While details regarding the RPG have yet to be announced, it has been said that the game will be on a console. This is definitely something to look out for.
