Random House announces a follow-up on earlier news of their gaming aspirations with details on their deal to help support games with "original transmedia intellectual property," described as "story content that can be accessed through multiple media sources including video games, social networks on the web, mobile platforms, in print and on film—that will be developed and marketed in partnerships with other media companies." Their first deal is to accompany Stardock's upcoming Elemental: War of Magic with a novel penned by Stardock's Brad Wardell called Elemental: Destiny's Embers, which is expected this August.
