Redmond is co-developing a new Tablet game software development kit, as well as new Tablet-specific games.
The Redmond, Wash., software maker is co-developing both the SDK and the new game, called Arcs of Fire, in conjunction with software partner 3 Leaf Development.
Microsoft expects to release a first beta of both the new game and the game SDK in early January, confirmed Frank Gocinski, ISV and business-development manager for Microsoft's mobile platforms division.
There already exist a few games and gaming-type PowerToys designed for the Tablet. Microsoft has published a Hoop Strategy Game and a Tablet version of the Word Search Game.

Arcs of Fire will be a game like Tank, a simple 2D war game, Gocinski said.
