Signs partnership deal with Nival Interactive
Paradox Interactive announced today a new partnership with Nival
Interactive, developers of critically acclaimed titles such as "Heroes
of Might and Magic V" and "Blitzkrieg".
Paradox Interactive and
Nival Interactive will collaborate around a new RTS series where
players are taken to the frontline, where the gameplay is going back to
its RTS roots - inspired by games like "Blitzkrieg". With state of the
art graphics and an overhauled interface, players will find themselves
challenged in many different environments and settings.
"We are
really excited to work with Paradox on a game that will transport
players to a turning point in history," said Anthony Jacobson, Vice
President of Marketing and Business Development for Nival Interactive.
"Paradox has a unique vision for strategy games, and we expect that
this series is the start of a partnership that will elevate World War
II RTS games back to glory."
First out is "Frontline: Kursk",
the ultimate battle of the titans! While this battle was neither
successful for Germany or the Soviet Union, it caused all the great
powers to focus an incredible amount of resources to improve their tank
designs and production. Some call it the last great conventional arms
race before the atomic bomb...
"Nival is a recognized and
appreciated developer with a strong focus on releasing interesting
titles that challenge gamers, something that Paradox Interactive is
also very passionate about", said Fredrik Wester, Director of Sales
& Acquisitions for Paradox Interactive. "Frontline: Kursk" is just
one example of such premium titles and as we embark on this partnership
we are thrilled to make it our first Nival title to be published by us
world-wide".
"Frontline: Kursk" is scheduled for a release during Q1, 2007 and is developed by Nival Interactive and N-Game Studios.
